Open Invitation—Open Conversation Greetings! The monthly spiritual practice articles will resume once my hand is finished healing. In the meantime, I would like to invite you into one-on-one conversation about all things related to my position as Director of Social Ministry. I am interested in getting to know you and in hearing your thoughts on this important ministry. Here are some conversation starters: The Feast Program – likes, dislikes, questions – what do you want to know? Why did I apply for this job? How did my education and career histories prepare me for this ministry? What ministries are part of the outreach portion of this positon? What ministries would you like to see as part of the in-reach portion of this positon? What do you want me to know about you? What gifts do you have that can be used to support in-reach and/or outreach? What social justice issues are important to you? What do you want to know about my position? Or any questions you have that aren’t on this list. All questions or topics about Social Ministry are welcome. While my door is always open to you, the time it will take for my hand to heal provides a great opportunity to schedule an appointment to visit with me. I am very much interested in what you have to say! To schedule a time, you can call me at 402-483-4126 – email [email protected] – or as some of you have done al-ready, stop by if you see me in the office. I look forward to getting to know you and hearing about what is important to you.
Alissa Gunning |Director of Social Ministries/Spiritual Director |Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, November 2019
“Advent Hope” At our kitchen celebration last month, I met a young woman who hadn’t been in a church for over five years—not since her dad died. She had come with her boyfriend who had been invited by his cousin who was a former FEAST partner. She couldn’t articulate why she hadn’t attended worship in five years. Faith had been a big part of her life with her dad. But she did comment on a number of things she noticed—that she felt welcome, the service was engaging, and we have a female pastor. She hadn’t seen one before. I think it can become easy to take for granted the things that are commonplace for us but perhaps novel for many in our society. I’ve heard it before: “I’ve never seen a woman pastor before.” And yet, Christians have been ordaining women—some for over a century. The ELCA is a relative new-comer to that reality, having ordained women for only the last 50 years. Of course, the first woman of color wasn’t ordained until 10 years later. And we have been ordaining people within LGBTQIA now for only 10 years. I don’t think Lutherans have earned the term ‘trend-setters’ since Martin Luther himself did some-thing new, different, and frowned upon. Since then, it seems that we have walked the tightrope be-tween splitting over differences and contorting ourselves in order to remain whole. It’s yet another symptom of a greater fear—if people stop coming, we won’t survive. I’ve been privy to the various forms of anxiety that seem to be simmering within the congregation—anxiety over decline and finance, over Sunday School and youth engagement, over FEAST concerns, over kitchen use and building debt, over the loss of our musician and the underlying issues sur-rounding how we welcome people who are gay, trans, etc. We are a microcosm of the anxiety per-meating the country—politics, immigration, taxes, impeachment, healthcare, abortion, guns, and more. So many things stir up fear and anger within us, pitting us against one another, dividing us and turning us into something unrecognizable. And yet, we say that we are One Body in Christ. We talk about hope in Christ. We adhere to a gospel of grace and mercy. We say that God is Love. These aren’t just words—though perhaps they become so when fear grips our hearts and keeps us from imagining the beauty that God has in store for us. Not just someday when we die but right here and right now. I imagine that the young woman who came into our building that Sunday had fears: Would she feel outcast or welcome? Would a Lutheran service feel like her home Baptist church? Where would she sit? Who would talk to her? Would she know the hymns? Would she feel gripped by grace in the message? Would anyone see her fear beneath the mask of confidence? And yet, she came in and sat down. She worshipped and stayed for lunch. Maybe she’ll come back, maybe not. But she pushed past her fear and all the things that kept her from being within a Church community for so long—she walked in with a bit of hope for something new. That’s what Advent is about—hope for something new in the coming of Christ. Jesus said, “Perfect love casts out fear.” Love. When we feel anxiety about the future and fear in the present, let us love. Let us hope. Let us imagine a new day through the eyes of Christ.

“Live Simply”
“[The followers of Jesus] are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.”
~1 Timothy 6:18-19 During this holiday season, it can be tempting to become obsessed with the things we have, the things we don’t have, the things we want, and the things we want to give. Each year, Americans take on more and more debt in an effort to meet gift expectations and outdo themselves and each other. In 2018, 28% of shoppers went into the Christmas season still paying off debt from the previous Christmas. We, as a culture, have become enslaved to standards of wealth and possession, living in bondage to our wallets. But that is not ‘life that really is life.’ It is not the life God wants for us. At the same time, ‘living simply’ isn’t simply a renuncia-tion or denunciation of things. Martin Luther says that Christ has made us free—free from and free for. Christ’s life and death and promise of abundant life set us free from possessions, free from consumption, free from dehumanizing work, and free from debt. Christ sets us free “for what God loves—all human beings and all creatures God has called into being.” Free from Possessions “When our time, our attention, and our devotion are absorbed by what we possess, we end up being possessed by our possessions.” My son changes his mind on what he thinks he wants the most on a daily basis. But none of these items help him to serve others. We aren’t called to give everything up. Stewardship is making the best use of what you have for the sake of the whole community. So, the opposite of enslavement to possessions is generosity. Free from Over-Consumption “Mere renunciation is not what Jesus expects. Sacrifice is not an end in itself.” We are not called to asceticism—to giving up everything and having nothing. We are also not called to seek satiation of our desires by consuming more of the world. Rather, the opposite of over-consumption is the contentment of sharing. This is best experienced at the sharing of the feast at the table of the Lord. “The Eucharist is the model for all of our consumption and...the epitome of the life that is really life.” Free from Enslavement by Work “Human beings humiliate and subjugate each other through work, but human beings often enslave themselves through compulsion to compete and achieve through work,” as well. How many times have you tallied up the hours you worked in a week, feeling a mix of both self-pity and superiority? How many times have you felt guilty about not working as much as a counterpart? We are not meant to be free from work. Instead, we are free for “liberated work for the life of the community.” When you recognize how what you do serves others, it becomes less work and more service in the name of Christ. Free from Debt In the age of credit cards, we quickly become enslaved to debt. Sometimes, it’s a necessity. We don’t have enough saved up to meet the emergency needs of a broken furnace, or a car replacement. We enter into a payment plan or put things on our credit cards. But these solutions keep us bound so that we do not have the freedom to do the work of radical stewardship in the name of Christ. “Many of us in the developed world don’t understand the seriousness of the prayer Jesus commands us to pray: Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” Not only is being in debt a challenge to good steward-ship, so is enabling others to go into debt. As we engage in this quarter’s stewardship focus of Living Simply this Advent season, consider this: “The simple life, in the end, is an astounding gift of God that makes us rejoice without ceasing.” *Quotes taken from “Giving: Growing Joyful Stewards in Your Congregation,” ‘Live Simply’ volume, published by Ecumenical Stewardship Center, Richmond, IN, 2016.
