Light in the Darkness Daylight Savings Time ends this week. Night lengthens and we enter the darkness. In the Church, we go into this lightless time with sharpened words of hope. We gather around scripture and sacrament, singing expectant songs and uttering reassuring phrases. Dark-ness will not overcome. Christ is the light of all the living. There is nothing so dark that the light of Christ cannot illumine. Job, in the midst of all his suffering, never lost faith. When he entered the darkest period of his life, he steadfastly affirmed his trust in the God who would not let him down. He lost home, family and health. Disaster after disas-ter wrapped him in shadowy shades of gloom. His friends gave up. So did his wife. They said, “Curse God and die!” But Job did not – could not – do so. He was a man of faith. He challenged God and demand-ed an accounting of God’s absence. His con-frontations were met with silence. Yet, he vehe-mently objected to God’s actions. Scabbed by disease, disfigured by grief, he sat in agony and argued his case before the Almighty. Thirty-eight chapters of his story are filled with Job’s objections and arguments, while the voic-es of his friends and wife urge him to walk away from God. Halfway through his protesta-tions, right in the middle of it all, come words of faith that sustain us in our times. As Job was in his deepest despairs, he uttered words of faith in the one who holds his life. He says: “…I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand upon the earth; and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then in my flesh I shall see God.” (Job 19:25-26) The Church stands as a place that speaks a word of defiant hope against the darknesses that so easily rob people of faith. We point to the brokenness of this world and declare that in spite of what we see, we believe in a God who will not rest until all that is wrong is made right.
Sometimes, this puts us out of step with those around us. We are a defiant people who in the midst of darkness light a candle that brings light. We re-bel against a world that says “God aban-doned you." We de-clare that God hasn't left us, but continues to come to us. We take this stand be-cause we cling to the promises of Christ that when we gather in worship, when we hear the Scriptures read, when we celebrate the Chris-tian meal, Christ makes himself present for us. And we know that whenever Christ is pre-sent, we stand in the presence of the One who heals us in our times of need. The days are indeed getting shorter and it seems that for a while, at least, darkness will edge out the light. But we cling to the sure knowledge that God does not let the dark-nesses of this world overcome. Through Je-sus Christ, God is making this world as God intends it to be. Until that day when it finally and fully becomes as it ought, we cling to the promises and keep praying, “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” We do not lose hope .

The Centering Word
Each month, the Centering Word is offered for congregational reflection. Use it to commit an important part of scripture to
memory. The coming month’s Centering Word is:
Hebrews 10:23-25 23
Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has prom-ised is faithful
. 24 And let us consider how to
provoke one another to love and good deeds, 25
not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day ap-proaching.
Partnership: Trading Spaces Sunday, November 15, Pastor Jordan will ex-change pulpits with Pastor Marilyn Miller of Reformation Lutheran Church in Milwaukee. Pastor Miller will preach and preside at Christ the King. PJ will do the same among the folks of Reformation. Between services, Pastor Marilyn will lead adult forum, introducing you to the important ministries they do in Northwest Milwaukee. Please welcome her and enjoy her company. Pastor Jordan counts her among his friends and continues to learn from her leader-ship.
Bishop Barrow Coming to CTK Bishop Jeff Barrow will be with us Sunday, No-vember 22, which is Christ the King Sunday. He'll preach and preside at the table, with Pastor Jordan serving as assisting minister. Between services, Bishop will speak about Christ the King in two ways. First, he'll give wit-ness the faith he holds in Jesus, the royal son of God. Then, he'll speak of our church and engage questions about our role in the synod.
Veterans Day Reception
Please join us on Sunday, November 8 as we thank God for our veterans and those currently serving. Between services, there will be a reception in the Great Hall with breakfast buffet
and patriotic program. Please invite your military friends and anyone else wanting to join us as we recognize our veterans and thank God for our freedom. For questions, call Don-na Finch, 414-322-2796, or [email protected].
CTK Book Club To Meet The CTK Book Club will meet on November 10 at 10 a.m. to dis-cuss To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

CTK Is Recognized Christ the King has been recognized with a Certificate of Appreciation for being among the Top 250 congregational supporters of the ELCA Malaria Campaign. Thank you for help-ing to make malaria history!
Remembering the Saints Sunday, November 1, is All Saints Sunday, the day in which the Church takes time to give thanks for all the faithful saints, those who are still alive, those who have gone be-fore us and who now rest from their labors. As part of our commemoration, we will re-member those baptized into the communion of the saints through the sacrament of Holy Baptism in the past year. We will, also, re-member the baptized members of our church who have passed through the gates of death and entered into eternal life with Christ. On November 1, candles will be lit in celebration of new life during worship (at both the 8:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services). We will also pray for all the bap-tized and the families of those who have died, as we give thanks to God for the life God gives through Jesus Christ. Please join us!

Treasure, Talents & Time TREASURE: Thirteen Thousand dollars is what we have been able to pay year to date to Mission Support at Christ The King while keeping current on all operating bills according to the Treasurer’s Income and Expense Report dated September 30. Therefore, we are behind, and need a big second breath to hit the mark of $34,150 in Mission Support budgeted for 2015. By designating additional, special of-ferings to Mission Support while maintaining our regular weekly offering amount, and “keeping our eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in” (Hebr. 12) we can join him in an ex-hilarating finish of our Mission Support commitment. “It is in giving that we receive.”
TALENTS: We all have special gifts or talents which are a sign of God, who can do all things. Our Talents and gifts are not given to us just for our own use, but are given for the enrichment of the lives of others. That is why we must give our talents to our church and community, all in the name of Jesus Christ, our namesake. Therefore, watch for an online Talent Survey to be rolled out in the next few weeks by which you will be able to indicate areas of service in which to offer your talents, and time for the ministry at Christ the King Lutheran Church. Your gift of talent is a special gift only you can give. “It is in giving that we receive.”
TIME: Our time begins with birth and ends at death. We all have a limited number of days, but unlike grain, the number of days we have cannot be stored in a barn. Once a day is over, it is gone forever. Our life on earth is a pilgrimage toward heaven because God has sent his Son Jesus Christ to bring us back to Him. Each day, week, month, and each year we must progress on our pilgrimage by giving time to God:
Through daily prayer, developing a close relationship with God Through scripture, reflecting on God’s word Through worshiping Through assisting others by letting Christ use our feet, our hands, and our eyes.
Your gift of time is unique, because you are the only one who can give it. May God bless us because of our undeniable stewardship support of His work to be accomplished through Christ The King Lutheran Church. Jon Kilmer, Stewardship Chairman
Growing in Generosity Online Our website has a new page to help us grow in generosity. It is a page on which we are post-ing materials related to stewardship and the Christian life. Featured on this page is a link to a book for sale in our bookstore about the spir-itual practice of giving. You can also find a Simply Giving form to help you automate your generosity. Check it out at ctkdelafield.org. It is found under the resources tab.

Juanita Says: “Where did the summer go?” I have read the quote of a famous person, “ The past is history, the future is unknown, except to God, the present is a gift.” I remember driving home from my days of teaching, listening to Paul Harvey on station WGN, concluding his late afternoon news, “Time Marches On”. And so it does. Here we are, our Christ the King membership at the beginning of our 2015-16 Worship-Education-Fellowship-Service Year, our relatively New (installed 20 months ago) Pastor PJ (young, too-under 50!), but still fully believing in our ELCA slogan, “Making All Things New”, and CTK’s motto, “Alive and Growing through God’s Grace”. Since I wasn’t a resident of Lake Country until 1962, I can’t vouch for the 12 years before that, but the years since Pastor Deane Peterson retired in 2007 have been most interesting and challenging. He and his family were with us for 25 years. With three “Gary” pastors and 3-4 different secretaries (now titled “office coordinators), to say nothing of the demographic, social, economic, liturgical changes happening, I almost began to wonder, “Was God testing us?” Could we pull it off?” Well, Here we stand!” Art, Sylvia, and Christine have been added to our staff; financially things are “ a bit tight”. There has been lots of cooperating, listening, learning, experimenting, decision-making, facing all of us, but mostly our Pastor, Council and Committee members. I do feel deeply, however, that we are moving in the right direction! Thank you God, for your guidance and strength!
What a Super Job for LWR! 140 Personal Care Kits 11 Boxes-440 pounds, tons of LOVE! That’s what our growth in faith does. There is a verse that goes like this:
The fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace. P.S. No matter what your age, take advantage of CTK’s programs enabling you to “Grow in your Faith”.
With the Holiday in Mind: It’s tradition for CTK members to help create a “Merry Christmas” for the residents at our Lutheran Home in Oconomowoc, SHOREHAVEN. A Shorehaven Gift Board will appear in the Upper Sanctuary soon after receiving this newsletter. Lutheran Homes of Oconomowoc has sent us a list of various items residents have suggested that are much needed or desired. Tacked on the board will be “bells” or “ornaments” naming each of the gifts mentioned. Your job?
1. Shop for the gift, shop as soon as possible, no later than December 12. 2. Do not wrap your gift, just leave it in the plastic bag and place it in the decorated box near the
gift board. Many Thanks.
May We Bless Others With A
Merry Christmas

The firefighters dressed up in all of their gear and then Mrs. Corning got to dress up in the uniform for the children.

MOVING FORWARD On Sunday, October 11, I attended Refor-mation Lutheran Church’s “Blessing Sunday.” I went with Barb Hamann, Sylvia Kreutzmann, Pam Kroening, Ellen Dowd and Shelly Fuller. It was a very inspirational service. We were not just greeted at the door with hellos or hand-shakes, we were hugged by everyone. In ad-dition to Christ the King, there were members from 4 other partner churches. About one half of Reformation’s members in attendance were youths and children ranging in age from infants to teens. Their choir performed, 3 youths danced and a family sang (mom and 4 kids). Their peace offering is at the end of the ser-vice, and once again we were hugged by eve-ryone who passed by us. A young girl, about 7 years old, came up to me, shook my hand, in-troduced herself and thanked me for coming to their church. We presented Pastor Marilyn with a $500 check from Christ the King to help with the restoration of their new facility. The funds came from CTK’s Maintenance to Mission fund. I would like to get a small group together to go to their church once a month. It’s a real eye-opener. The Reformation congregation is so appreciative of anything and everything. CTK could learn much from them. Our Council reviewed more of the comments and concerns resulting from the Council Feed-back Forum that was held on August 29. This month we addressed Outreach, Membership, Church Appearance, Events and Sunday school. All comments related to Outreach were basical-ly words of praise. That committee is doing an outstanding job. CTK’s commitment to Sereni-ty Inn, Reformation Church and Family Promise is to be commended. Robin Weiss, our membership chairperson, presented their plans. They intend to create a welcome / information center that will be locat-ed near the entrance of the church. A greeting program is in the works to identify, welcome and interact with visitors and prospective new members. They are reaching out to members who have left the church to better understand the reasons for those decisions.
The interior and exteri-or appearance of our church was another topic of discussion. Most members are very pleased with the changes made to the interior of the church. However, they felt that the exterior lacks ap-peal. Their concerns were the poor condi-tion of the parking lot and overall unattractive look of the church it-self. Our Long Range Planning Committee has been working on the parking lot matter and changes related to a new look of the church exterior entrance. Dick Rutledge, Mark Ellena and Jack Zimmer (architect) spent most of the summer re-searching our needs, working with the City planners and designing the new layout. The end result is outstanding. They gave us a vid-eo presentation that allowed us to literally drive though the new parking lot on the screen. This presentation will soon be shown to the congregation. You might have noticed that new lines have been painted on the park-ing lot. Kudos to LeeAnn Quinlan – she single -handedly did that work. Event planning comments were varied. They ranged from, “oftentimes events are planned without proper leadership”, “there is a need for more members to step forward and volunteer their time and talents”, and “Christ the King should be more involved in community events”. We have recently held some well- planned events with great attendance and vol-unteer support. Those events include the Out-reach for Hope Bike ride, Rally Day Sunday, the blood drive and Oktoberfest. The comments from the Forum related to Sun-day School were basically the inconsistency of the changing schedules. Parents commented on the fact that all too often, Sunday school was canceled due to other events and some-times with only last minute notice. This year, Christine is holding firm on the schedule.

th annual Thanks-
giving Gathering has begun. So far, St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy and St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, and Nashotah House Seminary are on board with us. We will be soliciting food and monetary support as we move forward. Our ultimate goal is not to use any regular CTK funds to cover expenses. Our choir director, Art Jaehnke, has once again graciously offered to provide musical enter-tainment during the dinner. After the meal, there will an ecumenical service at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church. I want to personally thank Council, the Execu-tive Committee and especially Toni Palmer for stepping in and covering for me the past sev-eral months while our family is going through a very trying time. I’m doing my best to fulfill my responsibilities as President of CTK while dealing with matters on the home front. Peace and God’s blessing to all, Rick Kunstmann, Council President
4th ANNUAL THANKSGIVING GATHERING For several years we have had the privilege of working together with St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, St John’s Northwestern Military Acad-emy, Nashotah House Seminary and Thrivent Financial to host a Thanksgiving dinner for our neighbors from all walks of life. As Thanksgiving approaches, we are fortunate to have a time to gather with loved ones and share a feast of the season. Sadly, many fami-lies right here in our neighborhoods will not gather and will go without, because they do not have these very basic necessities. One per-son can make a difference, but together we can make a change. The last time we had the event, directly and indirectly, we reached out to over 700 individu-als. This year, it is our hope to include some of Milwaukee’s inner city churches to join us. Our open invitation includes over 50 agencies that help those in need. This event, like years in the past, is funded solely by special congregational food dona-tions and monetary assistance. We do not use any other church budgeted funds. Our joint congregations have been so gracious in the past with support and assistance. As we begin to plan for the event, we ask for your prayers, donations (food or monetary) and considera-tion for volunteering. We have opportunities for volunteers of all ages, so we encourage you to involve your entire family. Please mark your calendar for Wednesday, November 25. We will be serving dinner at Christ the King from 3 PM to 6:30 PM. As in the past, we will have musical entertainment for our guests to enjoy. There will also be a Thanksgiving Ecumenical Service at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church starting at 7 PM with the churches’ combined choirs providing the music. They are located at 120 Nashotah Rd. in Nashotah. This will be a “Praise and Pie” event. Feed your soul and your hunger.
Tuesday Evening Cancelled The Tuesday evening bible study has been cancelled. If you have interest in an evening adult bible study, please email Christine.

Adult Forum at CTK Sundays, between services, adults are invited and encouraged to grow in the faith through mutual conversation. Pastor Jordan will lead many forums in the year. Sometimes there will be outside guests who present. Each topic has been chosen to help us more deeply interact with the faith. Visitors and friends are welcome each week! Nov 1: Saints who Shaped My Faith Behind every faithful person stands a multitude of faithful people who have helped transmit and shape faith. These people may have been par-ents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, pas-tors or others. In worship we’ll celebrate All Saints’ Sunday. In our forum, we’ll tell stories of saints who shaped our faith. Nov 8: Thanking and Honoring Veterans The Christian vocation of Soldier is an honora-ble way to serve God, when that vocation is practiced in loving service to the neighbor and in glory to God. Veterans routinely teach us the love of God. Today’s forum will be a recep-tion honoring those who have served. November 15: Getting to Know Reformation Lutheran The good folks at Reformation Lutheran Church in Milwaukee are partners in ministry with us. We are continually blessed by them and they are challenging us to grow in faith and love. This forum will be led by Pastor Marilyn Miller, pastor of Reformation Lutheran. She and Pastor Jordan are exchanging pulpits this day. Pastor Miller will tell about her ministry and introduce you to the important ministry they do in and through their church. November 22: CTK’s Place in the Synod Bishop Jeff Barrow of the Greater Milwaukee Synod will be our guest this week. In this week’s forum he will speak about Christ the King’s role in the synod. He’ll share about the work we are involved in with the other congre-gations of our synod.

The Jesus Prayer
“O Jesus, grant that today we may be able to see you in the people we meet, and that by offering them our care, we may serve you. Grant that, even if you are hidden under the unat-tractive disguise of anger, or crime, or mental illness, or addiction, or just plain nastiness, we may recog-nize you and say, 'Jesus, you who suffer, how sweet it is to serve you.' Grant us, Lord, this vision of faith and our work will never be boring. Amen."
November29: Cross-Generational Event: Keeping Advent
Praying the Jesus Prayer The weekly prayer we've incorporated into wor-ship has been creating discussion in our com-munity of faith. It bears the name, "Jesus Pray-er," because of the way it begins: "O, Jesus…" I like to think of it as the "Jesus Prayer" be-cause it calls us to be mindful Jesus is present in those we meet every day. Sometimes, it's easy to see Jesus in others. When folks are kind, helpful, and wise, we quickly recognize the presence of God. It gets harder to find Je-sus when He is hidden under "disguises" that disgust us: anger, crime, mental illness, addic-tion or "just plain nastiness." The Jesus Prayer comes to us as a gift from our partners at Reformation Lutheran Church. They pray it at every gathering they hold: Wor-ship, Bible Study, Peer Ministry groups, and at Leadership Tables. In doing so, they join the prayer of Mother Theresa, who used these words repeatedly as she entered into ministry in the streets of Calcutta. It is good to receive this prayer from our friends at Reformation. It is meaningful to them and may become so for us. May God, through it, stimulate our hearts and minds so that we might experience deeper encounters with Christ through the people we serve in the church and in our daily vocations.
