MVLC NEWSLETTEROctober 2019

At some point in my conversationswith many of you, I have foundmyself asking: How did you come tobe a part of Mountain ViewLutheran Church? Some of yourespond with stories of how you oryour parents were married orconfirmed in the Chapel, and thiscommunity has been a part of yourlife ever since—stories which have abeauty of their own to them.
But for those who do not have afamily connection, I have foundyour responses to be veryinstructive. Most often, when I askthis question of how you became apart of this community, you tell methat you were invited by a neighboror friend who already attended here.Often, it took that neighbor invitingyou many times—to the point ofpestering even—before you agreedto “come and see” what thiscommunity in Christ is about, andwhy your neighbors seem to thinkit’s such a formative community tobe a part of.
Invitation is an important part ofour life together as followers ofChrist. We are invited to come andsee, to follow Jesus, to eat with him,to pray with him, and to have life inhim. It follows that we are alsocalled to share such invitation withothers.
On Thursday, October 31, we have awonderful opportunity with theTrunk or Treat event to inviteneighbors and friends to experiencesomething of this community inChrist. Trunk or Treat is notformative or instructive in the sameway many of our ministries hereare, but its value lies in the power ofinvitation, hospitality andfellowship. It is designed specificallyfor these things.
People typically do not come toMVLC because of our website, orbecause of a flyer, or because theysuddenly felt the Spirit calling themto this place. Typically, people cometo visit MVLC because you all, thepeople of Mountain View, took theopportunity to invite them. So takethe opportunity to tell a family or agrandparent or neighbor about thechance to come and experience acommunity that cares deeply aboutlife together. (And sign yourself upto host a decorated trunk whileyou’re at it!)
The peace of Christ be with you all,
Past B

However, the community of God’sbaptized are in as much need of uplifting and encouragement as we have ever been.
Artists from our congregation have submitted pieces of their own work which speak tothe many seasons and occasions of faith life, such as: baptismal anniversaries,remembrance of death, birth of children, and Easter proclamation.

NEW CONGREGATIONAL NAME BADGESWe are upgrading our name badges from clip on to magnetic back. Why are we doingthis? For several reasons:
No Damage to Clothing. Magnetic name badges will never damage your clothing,no matter how often you need to wear them.
Less Chance of Breaking. In addition to not damaging your clothing, magneticname badges themselves are less likely to be damaged, which means you will savemoney in the long run. Our current name badge clips often break off requiring a wholenew sleeve and clip.
Versatility. Magnetic name badges can be used with any fabric and moved from ashirt to a jacket very easily. Because of how clip name badges function, there is notalways a good place on your clothing to clip it. You will never have this problem withmagnetic name badges. You can still use a lanyard with them if you prefer.
Storage. Our new name badges take up significantly less space and are easily storedon the wall with magnetic strips. Storing them on the wall frees up valuable floor spaceand makes it easier to locate your name.
Wearing your name badge helps create a warm, inviting atmosphere. We wear namebadges, not for the members of our congregation, but because we expect guests andnew members every week. Name badges make guests feel welcome, lowers theiranxiety, and make them feel more a part of our community.
We hope that you will remember to wear your name badge every Sunday morning!

HEALTH NEWSFlu Shots.Getting a flu shot each year is the most important step in protecting against seriousillness. Get vaccinated as soon as the vaccine becomes available. Check with yourhealth care provider or pharmacy. Flu shots are covered under Medicare andInsurance.
Immunizations.Be sure immunizations for children and adults are up date. Whooping cough is on therise in the United States. It is important for children to be vaccinated againstwhooping cough with the DTaP vaccine. Adults and adolescents receive the Tdapvaccine, which is a booster vaccine for ages 11 and older.
The CDC recommends pregnant women receive the Tdap vaccine in the thirdtrimester to provide the newborn with some of mom’s immune system antibodies,which can offer short term protection against the infection. Newborn’s immunesystems are too immature to receive the DTaP vaccine right away. The first dose is at 2months then followed by doses at 4,6, and 15 to 18 months with a final dose between 4and 6 years.
The CDC also recommends that all Americans ages 11 and older have one Tdapbooster shot. Check to be sure you have had yours. Protecting the infant in the homeand in public is important. We can all help prevent the spread of this infection with upto date Tdap.
Last year Washington State experienced as did other states, a measles epidemic whichin this state the number of measles cases have finally declined.
The MMR vaccine is a vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella. The first dose isgenerally given to children around 9 to 15 months of age, with a second dose at 15months to 6 years of age, with at least 4 weeks between the doses. After two doses,97% of people are protected against measles, 88% against mumps, and at least 97%against rubella. As an adult if you do not have written documentation of measlesimmunity, the CDC recommends that you get the vaccine.
October is breast cancer awareness month.Check with your doctor as to when you should start mammograms and alsorecommended repeat of mammograms depending on age and risk factors. Your doctorwill consider your particular case, including your age, family and other things thatmake you likely to need mammograms sooner rather than later.

Mathetria Retreat: Fierce Conversations“Preparatory Listening and Pondering”
Jesus ate dinner with Pharisees and scribes, he also ate with tax collectors and sinners,engaging these diverse groups in conversation while he did. He taught and conversedin the Temple; he also invited a Samaritan woman by a well into deep conversation.Jesus heard the stories of people’s lives and talked with them about theology andpolitics—even about their practices with money. Throughout his incarnate life onearth, he consistently had bold and courageous conversations with people. For him,courageous and vulnerable conversations were a mechanism to offer his promise ofbelonging and life together.
On our retreat we will focus on fierce conversations as an act of discipleship, followingin Jesus’ practice of reaching out to others and deepening relationships via bold andcourageous conversations.
In preparation for our time together, you are invited to listen to the podcasts below,take some notes to propel your thinking, and bring your pondering regarding thefollowing questions. (If you need help accessing the podcasts, Pastor Bri is glad tooffer assistance.)

in these associations? What is the most courageous thing you have witnessed or experienced in the world
lately? What boundaries do you need in place to be able to engage people with a soft front,
strong back and wild heart?
Podcast: Pádraig Ó Tuama with OnBeing “Belonging Creates and Undoes Us”onbeing.org/programs/padraig-o-tuama-belonging-creates-and-undoes-usQuestions: “Belonging creates and undoes us both.” Ponder an experience or conversation that
has undone (or transformed) you. How were you invited into that space? What wasthe aftermath?
How does fear shape our public/communal conversations? Where have you seenthis?
Think of a courageous conversation you would like to have, but have resisted. Whatare the hopes and fears that you bring to that?

WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDYGeneration to Generation:A Study in the Law Passed Down from Deuteronomy
The book of Deuteronomy, from the Greek translation, is named “second law.” This isa rather uninspired name for a book that was meant to inspire and stir its hearers—from generation to generation—to faith and fidelity. Together we’ll explore thetheological arch of this book, learn about the contexts it was purposed for, andexamine the nuances of its laws.
Sept. 19: Living MemoryTexts: Deuteronomy 4.1-43; 28.47-68; 31.14-29We begin with exploring the historical and theological background of Deuteronomyand how these contexts inform one another and shape the text. This will include a lookat the connection between the laws of Deuteronomy and the exilic experience of theIsraelite people in later years.
Oct. 3: Circling the Promised Land / Learning the CovenantTexts: Deuteronomy 1.1-8, 19-45; 26.16-19; 30.1-20Looking to the arch of chapters 1-4 (which were a latter addition to the text), weexamine how these narratives of Israel’s history inform our understanding of thecovenant relationship with the Lord our God, and how this covenant undergirds theentire book.
Oct. 17: “Hear, O Israel!” A word of law spoken with urgency and purposeTexts: Deuteronomy 10.12-22; 12.13-14.29The laws of Israel are presented several times throughout the Hebrew Bible, each timewith variations in content and purpose. Chapters 5-11 give an overview andorientation to the law as presented in Deuteronomy. Chapters 12-26 then present thespecifics of the law. We’ll begin with pondering the law particularly in regard toworship and how these laws had a centralizing power in the community.
Nov. 7: Not Above the LawTexts: 16.18-20; 17.8-18.8God always seemed to know that ruling classes would be tempted, for many reasons,into disobedience to the covenant. Here, the law acts as harbinger of that truth. Westudy the law’s relationship to human authority and ponder questions of suchrelationship in our world today as well.
Nov. 21st: Law as Humanitarian Influence?Texts: 15.1-18; 23.9-25Rooted in the experience of the Exodus, Israel’s laws call God’s people to a standard ofcare that is for the good of those who are oppressed or forgotten. Deuteronomy seemsto subtly expand on this notion. Do our laws today challenge us to do the same?
