[cid:image001.gif@01CA4768.28116540] October 7, 2009 In this issue: Greetings in the name of our loving heavenly Father, who blesses us with more than we deserve. He gives us the change of seasons, our family and friends, our health and all we need to sustain our life, and eternal life through His Son, Jesus. We receive all of this because of His goodness and love for us, and not through any merit of our own. The Apostle Paul writes to Titus and tells him "He (God) saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, who he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone." (Titus 3:5b-8) What does our devotion look like? Are we devoting ourselves to doing "what is good" as a District? A congregation? Personally? Because we are sinful, we can honestly answer we aren't always very good about devoting ourselves to living a life of sanctification. However, praise be to God that His love is perfect, and He continues to call us heirs of eternal life through Jesus Christ. May we as a district, as congregations, and as individuals pray for God's strength to devote ourselves to living lives pleasing to Him in all we do. * [1]Prayer Requests * [2]Fall Conference Registrations * [3]Your Congregation's Help is Needed * [4]H1N1 Flu Resources for Congregations and Schools * [5]The Lutheran Study Bible and Resources Available * [6]LCMS to Sell KFUO-FM to JoyFM * [7]Funds Needed in Response to Four Asian Disasters * [8]Equipping to Share Workshop in Plainview * [9]Shepherd's Canyon Retreat Presentation in South Sioux City * [10]Celebrate LCMS World Mission Month * [11]Basic Education for the Practice of Intentional Interim Ministry * [12]Theses on Worship from LCMS Council of Presidents * [13]Recruiting Medical Workers in Alaska * [14]Concordia Youth Ministry Teams Available PRAYER REQUESTS Rev.

Find registration materials and more information on the District website, [16]www.ndlcms.org. Please note the following important deadlines: § Registration deadline for Teachers' Conference - Friday, October 9 · [17]http://www.ndlcms.org/news/conferences/teachers/index.html § Registration deadline for Fall Pastors' Conference - Monday, October 12 · [18]http://www.ndlcms.org/news/conferences/pastors/index.html § Registration deadline for Church/School Secretary Workshop - Friday, October 16 · [19]http://www.ndlcms.org/news/conferences/secretary.html [20]Back to top YOUR CONGREGATION'S HELP IS NEEDED The following letter is shared from Rev. Russ Sommerfeld, Nebraska District President: As one of 247 congregations of the Nebraska District, your congregation is an important part of the ministry taking place in Nebraska and throughout the LCMS. The Nebraska District is a team of congregations joined in a common mission to resource congregations, leaders, and related organizations in their mission of discipling the saved and proclaiming Christ to a lost and changing world. District congregations provide funds to carry out work jointly that cannot be accomplished alone. Some of these services are required by the Synod and the State of Nebraska, such as providing a superintendent for our Lutheran schools, maintaining the roster and overseeing the call process for professional church workers, and providing ecclesiastical supervision. Others are special services to assist ministries and provide guidance for church worker health, missions, fiscal responsibilities, communications, and planned giving. Additionally, the Nebraska District Board of Directors annually submits to The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod a specified portion of the congregational gifts received, regardless of the total amount. In 2008, this portion was $1.35 million - a commitment that will be fulfilled in the same amount again in 2009. Gifts from congregations to the Nebraska District have declined in both 2008 and 2009, making it difficult to carry out both District services and support of the Synod. This shortfall threatens the structure for ministry at both levels. Congregations around the Nebraska District, as well as individual church members and professional church workers, are very generous with their designated gifts for individual missionaries, mission projects, universities and seminaries, and LCMS relief efforts. God be praised! However, undesignated congregational gifts for the District and Synod's services continue to decline. Your congregation's help is needed! Prayers of gratitude are offered for the gifts that are being provided toward required and elective services, as well as for assisting ministries and missions. The Synod and District call upon the congregations to prayerfully consider making gifts to the Lord to provide for the ministry work of the Synod and District. [21]Back to top H1N1 FLU RESOURCES FOR CONGREGATIONS AND SCHOOLS The following information was taken from the LCMS World Relief and Human Care website, [22]http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=15557. As the H1N1 situation in Nebraska continues to change, it is presented here as one resource for congregations and schools looking for information to help protect their members and students. By Rev. Glenn Merritt, director of Disaster Response for LCMS World Relief and Human Care We live in anxious times to be sure! With worldwide economic uncertainty, political unrest, and ongoing wars in the news, now we learn about a global pandemic, as declared by the World Health Organization on June 11. Yet, the Psalmist reminds us that the world need not panic with these forecasts of gloom and doom: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. (Ps. 46:1-3, ESV) Yes, these are anxious times, but God's people have always been faced with anxious times. We have enough to worry about without worrying about tomorrow. Jesus addressed this by saying, "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Matt. 6:34, ESV) In fact, this whole section of Scripture points us away from worry and to our heavenly Father who meets all our needs. Jesus gently reminds us, "And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" (Matt. 6:27, ESV) With over 5,500 hospitalized and over 350 reported deaths in the United States as of Aug. 6, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urges proper precautions, not panic, in the face of a pandemic. People are noticeably anxious as these reports make the news. For the latest updates on Swine (H1N1) Flu from the CDC see [23]http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/. At LCMS World Relief and Human Care, we also stress the importance of precaution over panic. As a service to our districts and congregations, LCMS World Relief and Human Care will continue to offer useful downloadable resources and thoughtful current insights on addressing anxious moments and fears about pandemic flu. Please see our Web site at [24]http://www.lcms.org/ca/worldrelief/dnews/ for helpful information. As the school year begins, the CDC offers guidelines for school officials to respond to seasonal and H1N1 flu at [25]http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/schools/schoolguidance.htm. Finally, during anxious times like these, we are reminded not to panic, but rather to humble ourselves before God because He cares about us: "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:6-7, ESV) God cares about our world, our lives, our welfare, and our health. Therefore, we have no reason to be anxious about anything - even a flu pandemic. For an intriguing article by Rev. Gary Simpson, professor of systematic theology at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota, on how Luther viewed the Christians' responsibility during pandemics (plagues), please see the inter-Lutheran Journal, Caring Connections at: [26]http://www.lutheranservices.org/PDF/N4_CaringConnectionsSpring08.pd f. Ultimately, we have nothing to fear even in anxious times. Our help is in the Lord who is our refuge and strength. Christians calmly practice precautions rather than panic, knowing all that God has done for us through Christ. [27]Back to top THE LUTHERAN STUDY BIBLE AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE The following is a letter from President Sommerfeld: Dear Nebraska District Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I recently returned from the September LCMS Council of Presidents meeting. As part of our time there, we were with the team from Concordia Publishing House. As part of his presentation, Dr. Bruce Kintz, CPH's President/CEO presented each of us with a copy of CPH's newest product, The Lutheran Study Bible. I encourage you to consider acquiring this Bible! This Bible is so named because it has study notes that clearly express our biblical Lutheran understanding of God's Word. I think that as you examine it you, too, will appreciate its features, most importantly its very keen focus on the "red thread" that runs through the whole Bible: Christ and Him crucified, shedding His blood for the sins of the world. Beyond the practical devotional content included in The Lutheran Study Bible, the many articles, essays and explanations it contains serve to encourage mission outreach, practical discipleship, and sound Lutheran teaching of the Word, all in the context of clear Law/Gospel distinctions that point people to Christ their Savior. The release of this Bible is a remarkable event in the history of our Synod. Never before have we had a study Bible, in English, using the best of Lutheran Bible scholarship from our seminary and college professors, with notes crafted by many parish pastors and Bible teachers. The entire project began with asking hundreds of lay people to read the Bible in assigned units, and then to jot down every question that came to mind as they read. This was the foundation for the notes in the text. You can read and learn a lot more about the Bible, and view many samples and promotional resources at: [28]http://www.cph.org/lutheranbible. As I am reviewing The Lutheran Study Bible I cannot help but think of this passage from Scripture, "These things are written that you may believe, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name." (John 20:31) I encourage you to discover for yourself all that this new offering has to give. In Christ, Rev. Russ Sommerfeld District President Matthew 6:33 In addition to the new Lutheran Study Bible, CPH is also offering an accompanying Bible study CD. [29]Concordia Publishing House (CPH) announces the release of a new Bible study that complements the release of The Lutheran Study Bible. [30]Life by His Word is a CD-ROM Bible study with more than 1,500 individual study lessons to guide readers through God's Word. Life by His Word CD-ROM Bible study provides discussion questions, application, and summary insights for The Lutheran Study Bible. The study explores every chapter and every book of the Bible. "Imagine the convenience of having an entire library of Bible studies on just one CD-ROM," says Jim Stropnik, manager of Bible studies and Bibles at CPH. "Life by His Word is a truly valuable tool for ministry." The Lutheran Study Bible is the first Bible in English to be developed from the ground up with notes that are distinctively Lutheran, [31]prepared by Lutheran contributors from over twenty Lutheran church bodies. The CD-ROM includes teaching materials and student materials in two formats: PDF to print directly and RFT for customization. Stropnik says, "The format is especially helpful for those who create their own PowerPoint presentations." Life by His Word CD-ROM Bible study is also designed with life application. "With Life by His Word, the pastor has a Bible study for any hot topic that comes up in the news," says Rev. Edward Engelbrecht, general editor of [32]The Lutheran Study Bible. "Just think about the chapter of Scripture that addresses the topic, find the chapter study in Life by His Word, and you're good to go." Life by His Word CD-ROM Bible study is available at [33]cph.org or by calling 1-800-325-3040. [34]Back to top LCMS TO SELL KFUO-FM TO JOYFM Proceeds will fund LCMS new mission and ministry opportunities The Board of Directors of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod (LCMS) has approved the acquisition of KFUO-FM "CLASSIC99" by JoyFM for $18 million, plus interest scheduled over the 10-year term, for a total of $26 million. Under the acquisition agreement, the LCMS will sell the KFUO-FM license and the associated equipment. The sale is not final until approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). KFUO-FM will continue to play classical music at the 99.1 FM frequency until the final closing of the sale. The LCMS continues to own and operate KFUO-AM, the world's longest continually running religious radio station, which offers an inspirational and uplifting Christian talk format. The LCMS is endeavoring to continue to provide classical music programming following the sale of KFUO-FM by seeking alternative broadcast possibilities. "We are exploring the possibility of broadcasting classical musical over a high-definition channel and via a radio translator system that would reach the St. Louis-area market," said Mr. Kermit Brashear, a member of the LCMS Board of Directors and special counsel to the board's KFUO committee. "Details regarding these possibilities are not yet fully known, but we are continuing to investigate these options." The decision to sell KFUO-FM is the result of the board's continuous evaluation of church assets and a stewardship decision regarding the best use of assets for furthering mission and ministry. For example, the LCMS is striving to broaden its use of technology including social media tools to connect with members and nonmembers alike to proclaim the Gospel worldwide. "The church has myriad national and international ministries and mission endeavors, not the least of which is a movement focused on reaching 100 million people with the Gospel by 2017, and the board is constantly evaluating resources for accomplishing this work," said LCMS Board Chairman Dr. Donald Muchow. "Board resolutions were issued first in 2008 and again early this year to explore alternatives regarding LCMS radio station assets. After a prayerful, thorough, and exhaustive review of the options, the offer from JoyFM has been accepted." The LCMS deeply values the heritage of KFUO-FM and the support its listeners have provided during the station's tenure. The church also is truly grateful for the friendship and support of the KFUO-FM Radio Arts Board and the station's other partners including the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and the Missouri Botanical Garden. "We extend our heartfelt thanks to KFUO-FM's listeners, patrons, and corporate partners for their generous support all these years" said Dr. Gerald B. Kieschnick, LCMS president. "We have been privileged to operate KFUO-FM for 61 years as a contribution to St. Louis and the surrounding community. Looking ahead, under God's guidance, we will avail ourselves of the opportunities this acquisition agreement will provide as we strive to reach the world with the precious and saving Good News of Jesus Christ."

[50]Back to top BASIC EDUCATION FOR THE PRACTICE OF INTENTIONAL INTERIM MINISTRY The NALIP (National Association of Lutheran Interim Pastors) Basic Education curriculum is designed for clergy and lay professionals to introduce participants to the practice of intentional interim ministry. A Basic Education for the Practice of Interim Ministry course is being offered at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, on November 2-6. Although focusing on Lutheran theology and polity, the event is open to all lay leaders and clergy desiring and/or called to this special ministry in congregations during a pastoral transition. It is also helpful for those who would serve as interim principals in Christian Day schools. The overall course is designed in three phases (Planting, Cultivating, and Harvesting) covering a period of about six months. The first and third phases are in-residence, beginning at noon on Monday and concluding at noon on Friday with a total of at least 60 contact hours. * Phase I (Planting) is a residential week focusing on the theory, theology, leadership skills, and congregational systems related to intentional interim ministry. We examine the interim journey through scenarios (propositional learning) the dynamics of entry, pre-entry, stages and tasks of the congregation, emotional systems, conflict, grief, power structures, and leadership skills necessary to lead the congregation and exiting/closure issues. * Phase II (Cultivating) is a six month experience in a parish or institutional setting, ideally in a leadership transition, in which the participant in this program "puts into practice" the material learned in Phase I. During this time you will learn contracting (covenanting), work on personal learning goals and write two critical incident reports, all under the supervisor of your chosen fieldwork supervisor. * Phase III (Harvesting) is the second residential week in which through a group process you will share one of your critical incident reports, review material learned in Phase I, and learn more about the dynamics of congregations in pastoral transition and your leadership skills and needs. You will also discuss the biblical and theological connections in this special ministry as specifically related to the Lutheran church.

[52]Back to top THESES ON WORSHIP FROM LCMS COUNCIL OF PRESIDENTS LCMS President Rev. Dr. Gerald Kieschnick shared the following letter and Theses on Worship with pastors and other church leaders last week. To read the theses in their entirety, visit [53]http://worship.lcms.org/thesesonworship. Dear Friends in Christ: Grace and peace be with you, from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! On behalf of the Council of Presidents of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod and Council Chairman Dr. Larry Stoterau, with this brief memo I share with our beloved Synod the document titled "Theses on Worship." This document has been in the process of preparation by the COP since the 2007 Synod convention. The Council of Presidents is keenly aware of the diversity of worship practices in LCMS congregations. This diversity in many instances has resulted in disharmony and even polarization. In order to foster God-pleasing harmony in this matter, the COP encourages pastors, worship leaders, musicians, and other church leaders to engage in prayerful conversation with one another, in submission to God's Holy Word and the Lutheran Confessions. To that end and to assist with that process, the Council of Presidents presents these succinct but significant "Theses on Worship." This document was approved unanimously by the COP at its regular meeting September 22, 2009, in St. Louis. As you will see, these theses are based on and supported solely by scriptural and confessional references. They are designed for wide distribution and study throughout the LCMS. In order to view or download the document please visit [54]http://worship.lcms.org/thesesonworship. Please be assured that the Council of Presidents ardently desires to assist our Synod in every way possible to achieve harmony and concord in the theology and practice of worship. We recognize that different affinities in music and worship expressions exist among us. Yet we believe that our future with one another as brothers and sisters in Christ must be firmly grounded in the light of Christ's forgiveness, grace, and mercy. While seeking to enhance our worship of the triune God with a variety of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod remains steadfastly committed to the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions. Through this varied repertoire we joyfully confess all that God has done for us, declaring the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. May the songs of the Church prevail beyond human adversity and strife, confessing our eternal hope in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Redeemer. Jerry Kieschnick Dr. Gerald B.
