Pastor David Maier - Forward in Hope

The Ascension of our Lord - 6:30 pm Worship TONIGHT, May 21

Today is the 40th day after the celebration of Jesus' resurrection on Easter. Tonight, we have the opportunity to mark this day and celebrate what used to be one of the major festivals in the church - our Lord's Ascension to the right hand of the Father in heaven.

Jesus' Ascension into heaven used to be for me merely an historical fact, a part of salvation's story, something I would regularly confess in the second article of The Apostles' Creed:  "... was crucified, died and was buried.  He descended into hell.  The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.  From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead."

2009 Confirmation - Their Blessing and OURS

This coming Sunday, May 17, is Confirmation Sunday at Our Savior.  What that means this year is … 16 of our 8th Grade students will make a public profession of their faith that was first made for them at their baptisms.  They have been prayed for by parents, God-parents, friends, our congregation, and their assigned prayer angel.  They have been taught for at least two years, immersed in the Scriptures, Luther’s Small Catechism, with discussion and daily application to life.

And as of last week, they have all been questioned regarding their knowledge of the Scriptures and right doctrine, and its faithful application to life and inspiration for life.  That questioning for these students took place in their interviews with a pastor, their Family Care elder, and their parents.

DON'T KISS THE PIG (... and Other Precautionary Thoughts Re. Swine Flu)

FIRST, Don't Be Alarmed! 

This is being written to be proactive ... and, accept for the common sense recommendations, is really not being implemented. 

But please read on ...

Do you remember the story of Jesus driving out the demons from two demon possessed men in the region of the Gadarenes. (Matthew 8:28-32)  That’s the first recorded instance of ‘deviled ham’.

N E W … The Lutheran Study Bible (ESV) … If you can wait, a GREAT Confirmation Gift

There is something that I am waiting for with great anticipation.  Anticipation, of course, builds the excitement.  On Reformation Day, 2009, there will be available for purchase for the first time The Lutheran Study Bible (ESV) – Life by His Word from Concordia Publishing House.  You can pre-order it now.

From my readings from the PR that it is receiving it is meant to be an engaging, Christ-centered reading and study Bible.  What makes this particular Bible different will be the comprehensive notes and practical application that are distinctively Lutheran -- prepared by Lutheran contributors from over twenty Lutheran church bodies.  The best of Lutheran scholarship, insights from the Church Fathers, and meaningful devotional insights emphasizing justification by grace through faith, the means of grace, and the centrality of the cross of Christ ... should make this Bible a real standout for both young and mature Christians. 

You can download The Lutheran Study Bible sampler HERE!

THANK YOU! ... For the 25th Anniversary Celebration of My Ordination

THANK YOU … to ALL of you who made last Sunday (January 13), the 25th Anniversary Celebration of my Ordination into the Ministry, such a personal, deeply moving, most enjoyable day ... for Pat, our family, and myself!

• The brief video shared in the sanctuary capturing some of the special moments of the last 25 years was amazing … a true testimony to God’s faithfulness and a “tear jerker”.

• The school children’s creativity in filling one of the letters for the word AWESOME (perhaps my favorite word) … and then placing them in the gym … was, well, AWESOME!

• The many cards that were given at Church or received through the mail and the encouraging and loving sentiments that were expressed in the cards and in the greeting lines, were greatly appreciated!

• The phone calls and visits that made for an exciting number of days.  Thank you.

• Thank you for the flowers for Pat and remembering and honoring her.  She also, as you know, is AWESOME.

• We are grateful for the thoughtful gift of dinner out … and a night in … at The Old English Inn for Pat and myself is being greatly anticipated … and we wonder if we might not be able to coordinate that with the additional generous gift of an evening at the Wharton Center for a show of our choosing.

• Thank you also for the many other gifts that were given by individuals and families.  They were humbly received with gratitude and as a reminder of God’s continuing gift of grace … also undeserved ... but gratefully received.

Prayer and Healing Service at OSL, January 23, at 6:30 PM

This Wednesday we begin what I pray will become a blessed tradition at Our Savior Lutheran Church and School:  a regularly scheduled Prayer and Healing Service to be held at 6:30 pm.  The purpose for this service is to gather together as God’s people and to pray for those who need any kind of emotional or physical healing.  Anointing with oil by the Pastors and elders will be available as mentioned in this encouraging passage from James 5:  13 Is any one of you in trouble?  He should pray.  Is anyone happy?  Let him sing songs of praise. 14 Is any one of you sick?  He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.  If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

New Year – New Bible Class: Ephesians

Although advertised as Ephesians and Philippians … when we finally sat down and looked at the time constraints (the Class which begins Jan.7 and will end on Feb.25 with one interruption on Feb.4 for a special Church Fund Raising Breakfast for a member in need … More to come on that later …) we only have 7 Sundays to study the material.  Consequently … we will just be looking at the Book of Ephesians, and even then just concentrating on a few of the highlights of each chapter from this great book.  (We will save Philippians for a separate study.)

Special attention will be given to the discussion that should take place, and is invited, in the class.  The Scriptures were not written as mere theological proposition, but as life changing truth used by the Holy Spirit.  So how does this inspired Word by the Holy Spirit given through the Apostle Paul affect us today?  Why discuss the teaching of predestination or election?  What’s the point of Paul describing God’s love in terms of measurements, and what’s the big deal about a wall being broken down?  What other practical advice is given for all Christians regarding every day living?  Can I really use it?  Does it really work?  What about the husband wife relationship? Why Paul’s comments to slaves in Chapter six, and how important is it to use the Christian armor that is described?  Who are we fighting today?  How useable is Paul’s advice?

I look forward to sharing with you … but also to you sharing with the group that gathers in Jesus Name.

Join the GREAT ADVENTURE!

Our Savior Lutheran has had the blessing of celebrating its 50^th Anniversary over the past 3 months, specifically on three particular Sundays.  Our first anniversary service was held on September 24 and especially celebrated our charter members.  I believe that more than 50% of the known living charter members were present for this service.  It’s amazing to realize what they went through in leaving the comfort of an established church so that they could begin a new church with a school.  A Christian education for their children, for all children, was so vital for them.  It should be for us as well.  Although this service recognized the God’s past blessing, it also celebrated God’s continuing work from OSL’s inception up to the present day.  The foundation laid continues to be built upon.

Our second anniversary service on October 29, especially celebrated our Christian Day School Ministry.  Past principals, teachers, and students were invited.  It was again a blessing to see so many people conversing that had not seen each other in years.  The lasting fellowship that a Christian school creates is almost incomparable with anything else.  We were thankful and blessed to have Rev. Timothy Bickel as our preacher, a student who had gone through all the grades of our school.  Tom Schroeder, another graduated of our school, was our guest organist.  A highlight of the service was having various groups of people stand:  those who had been or are OSL Principals; staff; cooks; students.  People who had been baptized, confirmed, or married at OSL.  God has done a mighty work at OSL … already. To Him be the glory now and forever more.

Ground Breaking Date – September 10, 2006

We rejoice in the Lord that He has led the congregation to go forward with the Boldly Proclaim  Ministry Relocation.  The positive outcome at the Voters’ Meeting today means that Sunday, September 10, will be the date for the Official Groundbreaking Ceremony for out new campus at St. Joe Highway and Broadbent.  ONE Service is being planned for this historic Sunday and would begin at 10 AM at our 1601 W. Holmes Campus, and then after a motorcade procession (police guided) end with the Ground Breaking Ceremonies/Festivities at the St. Joe Highwayand Broadbent property.  Even though digging and ground work at the new campus could possibly begin before that date (the earliest would be Tuesday, August 22), this Service would serve as the Official Groundbreaking.

Forty-Nine years earlier to this very date – September 10, 1957 – a number of faithful people, emboldened and courageous through their trust in the Lord and His leading, resolved to step out … and joyfully attended a Groundbreaking Ceremony at our present location.  These charter members of the congregation, some of whom still bless us with their presence and support, were and are amazing people.

What made them so amazing?

• Their love for the Lord and His Word,
• their commitment to the importance of Christian Education for children – through the establishment and support of a Christian Day School– as well as adults,
• their dedication to each other,
• their resolve in the face of a difficult situation, and recognition of a subsequent opportunity, and
• their demonstrated enthusiasm in their worship attendance and in their financial stewardship, …

these were the hallmarks of the beginning of Our Savior Lutheran Church and School.  It should be our common prayer as members of God’s family at OSL today, that we continue the same tradition and leave a similar lasting heritage … for generations to come.

The Groundbreaking Ceremony on September 10, 2006, would be another opportunity (summarizing the opening paragraph of the Vision Statement for the BOLDLY PROCLAIM Ministry Renewal and Relocation Campaign) to …

• rededicate ourselves in the strength of Christ to the proclamation of God’s saving and sanctifying Word and power; and
• joyfully, unitedly, and whole-heartedly support the blessing and guidance of the Lord in constructing a new worship center and school.

We thank God for the favorable vote on July 30, 2006.  Even more, we look forward to worshiping our great and loving, awesome and faithful God on September 10, 2006 and praising Him for the opportunity and privilege of participating in the construction of His new “house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells.” Psalm 26:8

SPECIAL BLESSINGS, Bounce and BBQ

Special Blessings will be Recognized -- Installed -- Commissioned -- Rededicated in BOTH SERVICES (8 am and 10:45 am) on Sunday, August 27.

How greatly Our Savior Lutheran Church and School has been blessed from its very beginning, with faithful, dedicated and committed Principals and Teachers.  God’s hand of continued blessing in this regard is most evident again with Mr. Richard Cohrs beginning his ministry as Principal of Our Savior Lutheran School at the end of July, and Mr. David Wright starting his teaching career as our Second Grade Teacher in August.

We are thankful to the Lord that Mr. Cohrs will be installed as the fifth Principal in OSL history, and that Mr. Wright will be commissioned as our 2^nd Grade Teacher.  This Installation and Commissioning, along with the Rededication of the rest of the OSL Day School Staff will occur in both services on Sunday, August 27.  Between services – DON’T MISS IT -- there will be a reception to honor and welcome Mr. Cohrs and his wife Carol, and to welcome Mr. Wright, his wife Tammie, and their family.  A Card Basket will be placed in the Narthex for both of these men – Special Blessings from the Lord!

Immediately following the late service Mr. Cohrs and the Bd. of Education will be hosting a Meet the Principal Bounce and BBQ for families and children until 3 PM.  There will be a blow up, bouncy obstacle course for the kids (and some energetic parents) and a Hot Dog / Brat BBQ with trimmings for to enjoy .  Looking forward to seeing you there.

David Wright - New Second Grade Teacher

One week ago, on Monday evening May 7, Our Savior Lutheran church and School voted to offer a contract to Mr. David Wright to serve as our 2nd Grade Teacher. Friday morning, in my Office mailbox, a copy of an excited letter of acceptance was discovered and read.

It would seem fitting that we get to know our new 2nd Grade teacher a little better and whole-heartedly welcome David and his family into our OSL family.  I've heard it said that Mr. Wright is a natural born teacher who loves Jesus as a passion.  Lutheran from when he was baptized at three years old to the present day, David has shared that he has always been awed by God, His Word, and His ways.  Although he had formally worked as a journeyman bricklayer and laborer foreman in commercial masonry construction, his real desire was to see children's lives affected by Jesus and built up by God's Word and God's power.  As a substitute teacher at OSL, it soon became apparent that he connected well with children of all ages, but quickly became one of the favorite substitutes of the students in our Jr. High.  He is incredibly personal, impassioned, and purposeful in his desire to serve the Lord in the teaching ministry.

Mr. Wright's wife, Tammie, is currently serving as one of our track coaches.  She is a surgical nurse at Michigan Surgical Center, and as an avid runner, has trained for and run in three Marathons.  She and David have had a long relationship, meeting in Kindergarten, and having had a "special eye" for each other already since 6th Grade.

Mr. Wright and Tammie were married in February, 1992, and their marriage has been blessed by God with three children who currently attend OSL:  Kendall - 11, in 5th Grade; Connor - 7, in 2nd Grade; and Caleb - 5, in Kindergarten.

In the prayerful process of discovering our new 2nd Grade Teacher, OSL was phenomenally blessed to have no less than three qualified candidates to consider for this position.  Mr. Wright will be going through the coloquy program of our LC-MS so as to become a LC-MS rostered teacher, as is our 5th Grade teacher Mr. Matt Couser.  We are thankful to the Lord that at a time when so many men are not considering the teaching ministry, that two fine men will soon be added to the roster, while beginning, and continuing, their teaching ministries here at OSL.

Please join me in thanking God for leading us to Mr. Wright and also in joining to welcome him and his family to our Faculty.

Principal Doesn't Come to OSL ... But We're All Still WINNERS!

It was Wednesday afternoon when we heard from Mr. Kevin Wilaby, the brother we called to be our Principal, that he would not be accepting our call.  In Mr. Wilaby’s words, after a great deal of prayer and deliberation, he and his wife and family will be moving from Colorado to Minnesota where he will be come the principal of a Lutheran High School.

How Mr. Wilaby come to that decision?  Did OSL “lose” and the High School in Minnesota “win”?  Within the kingdom of God we are all on the same team and we are all winners.  After prayerful deliberations the Wilaby’s, with God’s help, used some criteria to help them sort out what God wanted them to do.  Kevin shared some of those criteria which included (but were not limited to):  a healthy, positive, Christ-centered church where their family could grow; proximity to his parent’s in law because wanting to care for them; a Lutheran High Schoolfor their children; and a staff and congregation where they thought they could immediately “fit in” and fellowship.

Well the truth of the matter is, those considerations over which we had control … a healthy church and a congenial, supportive staff … he said we were right at the top.  Praise God!! But over criteria that were equally critical, or more heavily weighted, that ultimately helped them find God’s will, we had no control over.  But we should thank God that we had the opportunity to meet and come to love the Wilaby’s and also for the fact that they are at peace.  May God bless their move and their ministry in Minnesota as we continue to serve our Lord together, just in different places for the time being.

What happens now?  GOOD QUESTION.

• For sure we must continue to pray that God will help us discover the Principal that he wants to lead us into the future.

• We need to pray for the Call Committee as they consider if they should bring a recommendation forward concerning one of the remaining candidates for Voters’ consideration.  That could already take place at this Monday evening’s Special Voters’ Meeting previously scheduled for the calling/contracting of a 2nd Grade Teacher.  If more than one candidate is still available (at least two must be presented to the Voting Assembly) the possibility of consideration of calling a Principal at the Monday Evening’s Special Voters’ Meeting would be announced in both services on Sunday.

• There is also the possibility of contracting an interim principal for the next year or until another principal could be called to a permanent position at Our Savior.

• That would also entail opening up the Call Process for the Principal once again.  As in the past the congregation would be solicited for names to be considered.  Mr. Wilaby has also consented to giving us some names of individuals that could be considered, now that he knows are needs as well as he does.  The District would also supply us additional names for final consideration in a call list that would be given the Principal Call Committee.

Finally, again, PRAY!!  Our gracious God who loves us so much and has given us His only Son Jesus die, rise, ascend, and rule the world in our interest, has our very best in His mind.  May our wills conform always to His, and to His Word, and in so doing may we excitedly look forward to discovering who the Lord has in mind to be our next Principal!

First Words OSL's NEW Pastor To Be

Good morning OSL family and friends.  What a blessing God has sent our way in the person of Seminarian Roy Olsen and his family ... wife Joann and daughter Kirsten.  I have had privilege to spend a little time with them ... and now with Roy in particular at Beaners ... his first time at the Lansing version of a watering hole.  The Olsens will also be with us in both services this coming Sunday and are looking forward to serving the Lord and God's people here at OSL.  And now a first word from soon to be Pastor Roy Olsen. God bless your day, PM.)

Grace and peace to you, brothers and sisters in Christ. I have to start out by saying, I am not really a coffee drinker, but after the carmel marvel I find that this could change very quickly.  We are very excited to be here, while only visiting at this time, we look forward to the day, in the very near future, when we can serve the Lord together.  Seminarian Roy Olsen

Banners - A Proclaimation of Faith

If you’ve come to the OSL Sanctuary for the last three Sundays … you would have had the opportunity to see first hand the artistic abilities of our 8^th grade students.  Earlier in the year each 8^th grader is asked to talk over with their parents a Bible verse that they would like to use as their confirmation verse.  The confirmation verse is supposed to be meaningful and memorable as they will  be encouraged to remember the verse for the rest of their lives. 

If you did not have the opportunity to see the banners in the Sanctuary … you can also see them on line right now.  Wes Thorp was kind enough to honor each student and really to encourage each and every one of us … by putting each of the banners on line for your viewing.  I know that it would be the prayer of the confirmands that each verse would bring faith lesson or life encouragement to you. 

Thanks Confirmands for some meaningful banners … and your God-inspired promise to remain faithful unto death.  Through the God’s powerful working through His Word and Sacraments God’s abundant grace and mercy will surely lead you home!!

Confirmation

Tomorrow twenty-two of our eighth graders (one's a ninth grader) will be publicly confessing tomorrow that they believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  For most of them it will be confirming what took place in reality as they were baptized as infants in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit - faith was given by the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ became personal Savior.  This is a big day for these young people, and for their families and for those who have been praying for their growth in faith.  Because of their recognized growth and maturity Our Savior also then allows and encourages their regular participation in The Lord's Supper.

Soon most of these confirmands will also be graduates of Our Savior Lutheran School.  Maybe because of the chronological proximity of both events, and undoubtedly because of the challenges and temptations that the new frontier of High School presents, and maybe even because of what seems to be a growing spiritual lethargy on the part of parents ... there remains the discouraging fact that many of these children have the propensity of falling away from Jesus and from regular participation in the church.

Well, I've got high hopes for this class.  They are a wonderful group of kids ... and I truly believe that with their honest commitment, the strength of Jesus, and a happening youth ministry ... they will remain faithful AND actively involved.  Their creativity in some of their projects, their confirmation interviews, how I've seen the Holy Spirit working in their lives ... makes me more than hopeful for them.  They also have a great group of parents to support them.

I'm truly looking forward to the Rite of Confirmation tomorrow at OSL.  Please take the time to remember yours ... and the public vows you made.  And along with this class, please remember ... Confirmation is NOT spelled GRADUATION.

What can we learn from others … What can we offer ourselves … ??

For those who enjoy reading, for those who love to get, be challenged by, and can filter new ideas … for those who love reading the Acts of the Apostles (the book of Acts in the Bible) and marvel at the work of the Holy Spirit as seen in the rapid expansion of the early church (“… the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.” Acts 16:5) … I want to recommend the following article from The New York Times …

I will look forward to discussing the article with those who read it.

"My Little Buddy" ... A MASSIVE SPIRITUAL FORCE

What a joy this afternoon will be when my brother in Christ, Rev. Mandla Khumalo of St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church of South Africa, from Middleburg, South Africa, will be coming to our home for the weekend.  We have such a time together ... laughing together, praying together, singing together, talking about our families and the work and power of God in our different places in the world.

Don't miss the opportunity to see, meet, and talk with the incredible man of God.  When I was last in S. Africa some 15 years ago, I was able to stop with Mandla and preach at a number of different preaching stations ... some way out in the boonies ... literally.  God has blessed his ministry ... and this coming Easter they will expect in all of the churches to worship more than 25,000 people.

Please come to the Fish Supper (Fried and Baked) tonight.  Both of us will be there.  You'll love this guy ... short in stature, something of a British accent, full of faith and the Holy Spirit.  And please be generous with your donation at the Fish Fry/Bake (Ron and Dale's Famous) ...  All the profits will go to fund our mission team headed to Venezuella April 21-29 ... and Mandla loves being a part of that effort.

I would love for Mandla to go back to our brothers and sisters in S. Africa fully encouraged, energized, and uplifted by the response of the people here at OSL.  So please ...

• Come to the Fish Fry tonight between 5 and 7 PM ...
• Men ... join us Saturday morning for the Waking The Dead book study at 7:30 AM.  Pastor Khumalo will also join us there ...  Now if he can do it ... traveling half way around the world ... what's your excuse??
• Come to worship with us at the 8 or 10:45 AM services where he will be firing us up to "Live Worthy of Our Call To Serve God" based on Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-16 ...
• Come to the Bible Class between services (9:30 AM) in the 8th Grade Class Room where he will show a DVD that was taken of his ministries in 2003 ... and he will give an update on how mightily the Holy Spirit is working through his ministries.  Let's pack the place ... bring your friends, the person next to yoiu in the pew and your children.  Let's do it!

Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity to be awed by the Word of God and its effectiveness in S. Africa ... knowing that it bears the same power here. 

I am already encouraged knowing that my little buddy is just hours away!!

Prayer for Our Call ... A Call To Prayer

What a privilege to pray to the great shepherd of the sheep for another shepherd to help care for his sheep at OSL.  As has already been shared with you we are pursuing two avenues of approach.  One –  to seek a graduate from the St. Louis Seminary;  and two – seek a pastor from the “field” who already has professional church experience. 

In pursuing number one, four of us flew down to the St. Louis Seminary at the end of January.  Through the interview process of four potential graduates, one seemed to have the gifts and aptitude to bring a great deal of faith and Spirit to the team ministry at OSL.

70 plus 2 ... NO Not 2 more Than The Number of Disciples Jesus Sent Out 2 x 2

72 ... the number of people who were in church last night ... Lent Mid-week 2.  Do you all realize that that is the lowest mid-week (Lent or Advent) attendance in the 15+ years that I've been here!  Usually Lent mid-week 6 falls off to about 125 ... but 72?!?!!  What gives??

Here are some choices ... please respond by email or however ... (or better yet, in love, sacrifincing some of your time and schedule for Him who sacrificed His life for you, join us next Wednesday at 5:30 pm for a meal in the gym and then worship at 6:30 pm) ...

No meal offered last Wednesday

The Sanctuary is too cold at night

I was at the State home BB Game

Too much grace on Sunday, why Wednesday too

Need brighter lights

It was the equitorial equinox at the 51st lattitude ... and like wow man

With Eric Gledhill liturgizing and Pastor Bickel preaching I would have been there if only Joel Maier was acolyting (shiney head theme ...)

My excuse is ...

All smiles aside (there aren't many) ... please join us on the Lenten Road next week.  We will be looking at the Road Home for the wayward son in Luke 15.  Again, a dinner at 5:30 - 6:30 PM in the Gym will precede our Lenten Worship at 6:30 in the Sanctuary.

Take the Road Home next Wednesday!  There's No Better Place to be!!  See you there! 

Love, PM

DON'T MISS THIS ROAD TRIP - The Lenten Journey

Hey!  The Lenten Season and Ash Wednesday will be begin NEXT  Wednesday, February 9.  The Lenten season, the six weeks prior to Holy Week, has typically been set aside as a time to meditate on Christ's suffering and our misdeeds, mess-ups, and other maladies that caused Christ to die on the cross for all humanity. God accepted the death of His Son as true God and true man for all of us, for all time.

"Behold, we go up to Jerusalm," Jesus said to his disciples, leading them down the road toward the ancient city -- one of many roads on which we will confront the Christ during this solemn season.  DON'T MISS THIS IMPORTANT ROAD TRIP!

February 9:   Join us this year for the beginning of our 6 week journey to Holy Week as we travel THIS LENTEN ROAD.  Lenten Supper in the Gym at 5:30 PM

Ash Wednesday begins with The Road to Damascus, where life is given a new direction.

February 16:  On The Road to the Wilderness the Holy Spirit leads us from baptism (Jesus' and our own) to confrontation with tempatation.

February 23:  The prodigal son shows us the wisdom (and the necessity) of seeking The Road Home.  Lenten Supper in the Gym at 5:30 PM

March 2:  The disciple Peter becomes a roadblock on The Road to Jerusalem, prompting Jesus to say, "Get behind me, Satan!" and invite us to take up the cross and follow.

March 9:  As the good Samaritan stopped on The Road to Jericho, so Jesus stops to care for us in our needs and teach us to "do likewise." Lenten Supper in the Gym at 5:30 PM

March 16:   The Bethany Road leads to the home of Mary and Martha and the funeral of their brother Lazarus, and then on to Jerusalm for the Palm Sunday parade.

Life's a journey and you need some necessary rest stops and fill ups.  OSL is the place on Wednesday evenings during Lent.

See you there!
