Pastor Kathryn, Paula, Nancy, Shawna & Ken


Pastor Kathryn Franzenburg

You will receive this newsle�er as we make final prepara�ons for our

Christmas Services. I hope that you will “Crea�vely Connect” with

family and friends, neighbors and new folks into the community to

invite them to come and celebrate Christ’s birth with us. The story of

God’s incarna�on is truly a story of Love like no other filled with Hope in

despair, Faith in doubt, Peace in conflict. Jesus’ vulnerability revealed

to us in His birth as a babe in Bethlehem, is a story of suffering Love that lets us know that He is Emmanuel, God

with us always.

As we approach the New Year, I invite you to focus on “Inten�onally Growing” in your rela�onship with God. On

mul�ple occasions I have shared with you insights from the devo�onal booklet that I use, Jesus Calling. If you do

not already have that book, I encourage you to put it on your ‘Christmas/New Year” list and join others at St. Paul

in reading it together. Quo�ng from the cover of the book: “A rich rela�onship with Jesus is so much more than

presen�ng Him with a list of request. It includes listening - through reading the Bible and receiving what He is

pu9ng in your heart. The devo�on is wri�en as if Jesus Himself is speaking directly to you - words of

encouragement, comfort and reassurance of His unending love. The wri�ngs are personal reflec�ons based on

Jesus’ own words of hope, guidance and peace within Scripture.

I will con�nue to reference these devo�ons in my preaching and ministry with you and would welcome the

opportunity for small group or 1:1 conversa�ons as the words speak to you. Together I believe that it will lead us

to Joyfully Serve in this community.

It con�nues to be a special blessing to be in ministry with you as we wait for the calling of a new pastor to serve as

your leader at St. Paul. Truly God is present with us in the journey. Thank you for your faithful, suppor�ve

partnership.

Pastor Kathryn Franzenburg

Martin Luther Exhibit

Five hundred years ago, one

man took a stand that shook

Europe and changed the

world. Now you can see the

story of Mar�n Luther and the

Reforma�on brought to life

through astonishing artworks

and historical objects, traveling

outside of Germany for the first �me ever.

Luther used art and the newly invented prin�ng

press to challenge Europe's leaders and spread a

revolu�on of religious, cultural, and societal

change. This exhibi�on includes pain�ngs,

sculptures, gold, tex�les, and works on paper - as

well as Luther's personal possessions and recent

archaeological finds - that shed new light on an

explosive era and the man who ignited it.

This exhibit is open now through January 15,

2017, at the Minneapolis Ins�tute of Art.

Give The Gift Of Grain To Benefit St. Paul

Crop producers who want to show support for St. Paul have another op�on besides wri�ng a check or dona�ng

cash. They can give the giV of grain. Giving grain is a viable op�on for dona�ng to St. Paul. Self employed farmers

who donate grain to St. Paul not only benefit St. Paul but also reduce their self-employment tax and increase their

income tax savings.

Giving grain can save farmers as much as 49% of their dona�on amount. For example, a grain dona�on worth

$1000 could save farmers an extra $490 because they gave grain in place of cash.

Always check with your co-op on their procedures when giVing grain.

Simply Giving Electronic Giving

This holiday season, we thank everyone who has supported St. Paul Lutheran Church this past year with their �me,

talent and financial generosity and look forward to support from all of our members in the year ahead. If you need

a convenient way to make regular offerings or if you plan to make an addi�onal giV before the end of the year, we

encourage you to check out our electronic giving op�ons. As the pace of life speeds up, especially around the holi-

days, you may find electronic giving a most welcome way to make contribu�ons. Contact the church office for more

informa�on

Offering Envelopes

Your 2017 Offering Envelopes are ready to be picked up in the church basement.


From Ken’s Desk

Dear Friends,

With a new year comes change so I wanted to announce a few changes that will take place concerning my role here

at St. Paul and my call to ministry.

With God’s help and guidance, I have been called to shiV my voca�onal goals and plans from pursuing ordained

ministry to pursuing counseling ministry. Beginning in January, I will be transferring from Wartburg Theological

Seminary to Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado to pursuing a Master of Theology degree specializing in

Pastoral Care and Counseling to those experiencing mental health and addic�on issues. This will allow me the

opportunity to walk with and support those in our faith community and perhaps others here in Anamosa who are

experiencing these issues who want to incorporate faith and spirituality as tools and founda�on for coping, achieving

recovery and healing.

I will con�nue to be involved in suppor�ng and leading groups and ministries already established such as Tuesday

evening Grief Support, Sunday Morning Hot Topics, Wednesday Adult Bible/Book Studies, Wednesday Lutheran Men

in Mission, Care Giver and Care Receiver Support and Sunday Prayer Ministry. I will con�nue to assist in Worship,

visi�ng the sick and homebound as needed and serve as a resource for lay leaders. Yet my hope is to respond to the

call to care for those touched by the painful and oVen debilita�ng results that depression, anxiety and addic�on can

bring.

Beginning in January I will be available for one on one sessions for anyone seeking help with these issues. Please

contact me directly at the church office at 319-462-4841.

Blessings to All This Christmas!

Ken
