What Do I Say Now?
Did you know that Grandparents play a significant role in in passing on faith in families? It turns out that adults in the survey who are active Christians cited grandparents as the model for their faith 37% of the time!
The term “Household of Faith” used here in this article and in this presentation does not refer to those living under the same roof. It refers rather to those in the same family relationship-regardless of where they all live—sometimes not even in the same city—but under the banner of the word “family”.
This workshop will help people in all these families to look at the opportunities for intergenerational mentorship (this goes in both directions) and how it contributes to spirit ual vibrancy in the GenZ, Millennials, GenXers as well as that of Elders and Boomers.
All of the above is encouraging especially for elders and boomers who are living more solitary lives, as they continue to have an important opportunity to pass on their legacy of faith to the next generation.
Please join us on Saturday, October 29^th for a workshop/seminar designed to help you with ideas and ways to speak comfortably with “anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15 ESV).
Please save the date and come to St. John’s Lutheran Church (123 South Railway St. West, Warman). This will start at 1 pm sharp and be completed at 5 pm sharp.
Our speaker will Lisa Jackson, Managing Director of the Lutheran Laymen’s League, Canada. She will be presenting insights gleaned from research regarding faith and culture, leadership and vocation, and generational groups—in ongoing studies of faith in North America.
Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) partnered with Barna Group—an industry leader for research-based insights about faith and culture, leadership and vocation, and generational groups—in ongoing studies of faith in North America, with additional review on Canadian culture. This collaboration has facilitated the creation of resources that address the needs of the individual Christian, the Church at large, and for those who don’t yet know the Gospel message.
In the spring of 2018, LLL Canada invited Dr. David Haskell to share his own research about the landscape of faith sharing in Canada and together we looked closely at the research and materials to ensure its relevancy in Canada. We found that apart from some small differences in demographics, the data representing the issues and concerns were the same.
The aim of the material is to encourage lay people and help them to meet people in conversation -where they are at. It enables us to gain a hearing for the Gospel in an inviting way—guiding those who seek toward faith.
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Pastor Rudy by cell phone or text (306-221-9575) or email (rudy.pastu@sasktel.net).
Please remember the following: be sure to bring your own lawn chairs, cutlery/utensils/plates/cups, blankets, beverages, bug spray, sun umbrellas, and enough food to share potluck style. Mark your calendars and join us!
The Crocus Co-operative…
…will be providing two tantalizing types of tasty soups that will tease and please your taste buds in two tastefully tongue pleasing temptations!
As well, a special guest speaker from the Crocus Co-operative will inform us of the work and purpose of this charity.
Please join us on Thursday, May 19 at 12 noon!

PS-Please be sure to sign up for this using the sign up sheet posted on the bulletin board at church.

A different Seniors get-together approach – because God has granted us the technology!
Greetings in Christ, all of you Seniors luncheons participants!
It’s been several months since we sat at tables sharing a simple meal at lunchtime, chatting with friends, albeit hiding our smiles behind a mask. We did well to keep our distances and felt safe.
January is usually when we resume our lunches with some sort of programme. With the uptick of COVID 19 cases in Saskatoon it seems prudent to look for an alternate way to “meet”. Those of you, who took part in the “Meet in the Narthex” Zoom events earlier in 2020, know that they are not an ideal substitute for a “warm body” across the table. But they do work and at least allows us to see a smiling face.
In consultation with Pastor Rudy, Caregiving decided to try some Zoom events [Faith owns an account], at least for the next little while. Anyone who has a device such as a desktop or lap top computer, or a tablet can successfully participate and even the phone works, however without the picture of your friends. Pastor Rudy graciously volunteered to be the tech guy, as long as Caregiving comes up with a programme.
Let’s start this January 21 at 1:30 p.m. with just an introductory session, when participants may relate their experiences during the past few months. We should limit participation to 10 people so that everyone who wants to speak has a chance to do so. If there’s interest we might try another session the following week, January 28, with another group, depending on how much time Pastor Rudy has available to “tech-shepherd” us along. In February, we will come up with another idea of what to do during this time, maybe even have some fun.
If this is of interest to you, please, email Renate at hisrib@shaw.ca or Gaile Abel at gaile45@shaw.ca to register. We will ask Pastor Rudy to give instructions [in 20 words or…] on how to access Zoom. It is easy once you know itJ!
Registration deadline: January 14th, please.
In Christ,
The Caregiving partners,
Renate and Gaile

Walther. The movie.
Please note the date change to Sunday, October 14th (7:00 pm – 9:00 pm)
Concordia Lutheran Seminary St. Louis Presents the Historical Drama film, “Walther” being shown at Holy Cross Evangelical Lutheran Church (1405 31st Street West, Saskatoon) on Sunday, October 14th (note new date) from 7:00 – 9:00 PM. Join us for a movie about a man who sacrificed his homeland, his health, nearly his life...for the freedom to speak freely, to believe freely, to live freely...for his church and the faith of those he loved...and for us who would come after...
Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther (1811-87), the father of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, served as its first president from 1847 to 1850 and then again from 1864 to 1878. In 1839 he emigrated from Saxony, Germany, with other Lutherans, who settled in Missouri. He served as pastor of several congregations in St. Louis, founded Concordia Seminary, and in 1847 was instrumental in the formation of the LCMS (then called the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States). Walther worked tirelessly to promote confessional Lutheran teaching and doctrinal agreement among Lutherans. He was a prolific writer and speaker. Among his most influential works are Church and Ministry and The Proper Distinction between Law and Gospel.
