Sometimes our minds live in the “good old days”, missing out on the God-given contemporaries and settings of now. Sometimes, we long for tomorrow but similarly miss the contemporaries and settings of now. In our daily rush through life, are we blind to see the precious contemporaries in our stories, or the blessed setting of our current place in life?
God is blessing your now, count those blessings!
Biographies can teach us a lot about how others lived their lives. From their weaknesses, we can learn about their poor decisions, choices, mistakes, etc. And the opposite can be learned from their strengths. A very large lesson learned is to “see” the changing contemporaries and settings in their lives. For example, Teddy Roosevelt ex-plored the frontier in North Dakota. He had close companions there and built a cabin on a river. Volumes of adventures were experienced with his friends in this place. Years later, when Teddy was in the White House, some of those close friends
had died and others were miles away. The cabin had even been swept away by a spring flood. He could not go back. His contemporaries and settings had changed. Likewise, Mark Twain, at the height of his writing career, had blossomed with a wonderful little American family lifestyle. They lived in their dream home in Hartford, Connecticut. He wished to freeze time here, but could not. He made some poor financial choices and they had to leave that house. Soon afterwards, one of his beloved children died. He could not turn back time. His contemporaries and settings changed. So do ours.
Appreciate your contemporaries

Imagine you are driving down a
wonderful country road on a summer
vacation. You see a sign that reads,
“Yellowstone National Park – three
miles ahead.” You begin to anticipate,
imagine, visualize and become eager for
the adventure ahead.
Likewise, here is a real road
sign, “His Love – Our Response* –
three months ahead.”
On January 1, 2011, we will pass
into new territory, entering a joyful year
themed “His Love – Our Response.”
Your pastors are hopeful that you will
begin to anticipate, imagine, visualize
and become eager for the adventure this
theme inspires.
His love for us is displayed in
creating us, redeeming us, sustaining us
and preparing our Heavenly home for
us! That’s deep love!
What is our response? How
would you answer that question?
Pause and think.
As we look toward 2011, what
might be our response to His love for
us? Shall we consider some new year
resolutions this far in advance? What
habits need shedding? What habits need
to be polished and revived? Worship
habits or Bible study commitments?
How about home devotions with the
family? How about reactivating our
prayer life? Maybe consider serving our
Lord in some capacity at church,
applying the gifts He has given us?
It’s going to be a wonderful new
year as we respond to His love. That
new year is just around the corner! We
hope you look forward to embracing this
theme as much as we do!
*The 2011 theme for Our Saviour
Lutheran Church was the Synod’s
theme in the early 1980s.

The little church in the
suburbs suddenly stopped
buying from its
regular office supply dealer.
So, the dealer telephoned
Deacon Brown to ask why.
"I'll tell you why," shouted
Deacon Brown. "Our
church ordered some
pencils from you to be used
in the pews for visitors to
register."
"Well, interrupted the
dealer, "didn't you receive
them yet?"
"Oh, we received them all
right," replied Deacon
Brown.
"However, you sent us
some golf pencils...each
stamped with the words,
`Play Golf Next Sunday.'"

Our dear and faithful roving reporter, Adeline Grieser, is
setting down her pen and retiring from her storied
adventures for our monthly reading. Thank you
Adeline! When folks pick up the Voice, it is to your
articles they run, Adeline. We thank you for the more
than four years you have been gathering, researching,
checking and writing jokes and items for the Voice. I
am feeling prophetic, hereby going to guess your pen
won't lay long, your fountain of ink is welled to the
brim and your love for the story is mighty. May we hear from you in an interview,
Adeline?

Roving reporter, Adeline, lays down her pen
Norma Teske has been
teaching Sunday school at Our
Saviour Lutheran Church for
quite some time. As she retires
from this ministry at OSLC, we
have asked her to tell her story.
Thank you Norma!
“I was born in Algoma
and attended Algoma Public
School and Algoma High with
vocational courses. I worked
for Lindeman's and was office
manager at the Riverside
Ballroom for many years. I
have three sons and six
grandchildren, three girls and
three boys. My mother is 89
years old, still living alone in
her own home.
I have taught Sunday
school for the past 15 years. I
always taught the kindergarten
class. I really enjoyed these
years immensely. They were
very rewarding. These precious
little children are so sincere, and
as time goes along, you can
really see the progress they are
making.
Usually, by the end of
the year, they memorized and
can say The Lord's
Prayer. They WANT to learn
all about this Jesus that died for
them and saves us. I really have
decided to retire at this time
because I need to help out with
my mother when I can.
Also, I believe someone
younger will be more effective
for today's young children. No
one has to say thank you. Just
thank the great parents for
bringing their precious little
ones to Sunday school to learn
about Jesus. This is a very
important start in life and their
hearts. Again, thank you to the
parents in bringing these
children to me so I could have
an opportunity to teach them all
about Jesus.
PS: I will also miss all
the teachers and especially Julie
and Donna and the children.”
In her own words: Norma Teske

Our Saviour Lutheran Church –Green Bay, Wi Youth
Every Sunday, unless otherwise noted, senior high Bible study in the youth room at 7:00 p.m.

beginning at 3:00 p.m., dinner at 5:00 p.m., and for those of you in confirmation, class at 6.
Sunday, Oct. 17 join in the youth room for Bible study and pumpkin carving at 7:00 p.m. for
confirmation and senior high youth. Please try to bring some of your own pumpkins.
Thursday, Oct. 28 is the Make a Difference Tour stop at the Resch Center. Sign up in the youth

Movie nights begin Saturday, Dec. 4 at 7:00 p.m. Movie title to be announced.
Bowling and paintball still in the works! Stay tuned!
The school year is off to a great start in
the youth department! The first youth
night was filled with curly fries, chicken
tenders and confirmation memory
work. The first senior high Bible study,
although a small group, had a powerful
message and plenty diving right into
the Word. It is often a difficult task
getting young Christians excited about
the Word. But it is an amazing
experience to a part of the OSLC
youth’s Christian journey.
Youth events!
Interested in serving on the youth board? Our meetings are the first Monday of every month for at 5:30 for about an hour. We discuss the future of our youth program’s role in our congregation and plan youth events. And as always we can use more volunteers! Please e-mail [email protected] if you are interested in serving either (OR BOTH!) of these ways!

thanks for their lives among us.

To Pastor Dave and Bev Salewski,
Who organized all the ladies in the kitchen and
served such a wonderful funeral meal for my father
Dave Swagel. My family appreciated it so much.
Also, to everybody who prayed for my father; he is at
peace in heaven.
It is wonderful to be part of such a wonderful
congregation. Thank you everyone. God's blessings.
From Louanne and Chuck Kuzmic and family
A personal thank you for all to
