TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Water at Work in the Word and the World

by Pastor David Voss
Deborah was a judge over a “high” court, settling disputes which proved Inside this issue:
too difficult for local judges to resolve. A prophetess held in high-esteem, she
seemed to have gone off the deep end. She commanded Barak, the Israelite
commander-in-chief to fight an undefeatable army. It was a suicide mission. Hooray for Hopewell 2
The Chariots of Sisera’s mighty army could not be defeated. His chariots were
the fighter jets of the day—you could only run for cover. Barak, believing in A New Bible Study 4
his heart that Deborah was sending him off to his death said to her, "If you go
with me, I will go; but if you don't go with me, I won't go."
"Very well," Deborah said, "I will go with you. But because of the way Music in Worship, II 5
you are going about this, the honor will not be yours, for the LORD will hand
Sisera over to a woman."
Dr. Maier Seminar 7
Barak and Deborah headed toward the field of battle. It was there where
they saw the mighty chariots of Sisera’s arriving in full force. There looked to
be no possible way to avert death but Deborah was confident the LORD would Pastor’s Corner 11
protect them.
God promised Deborah to protect her as He does you and I. We are often
like Barak in this story, questioning God when things look bleak. Wondering
how in the world He can protect us when it appears there is no victory at hand.
Listen to the words that Moses once shared with Joshua, “The LORD himself
goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
I imagine these are the same words that Deborah shared with Barak as he
nervously watched the powerful chariots arriving to crush his army. God did
not forsake them. He poured down water from heaven and filled the valley
with righteous water. The once powerful chariots became stuck in the mud and
the great army of Sisera fell to Barak’s army.
On the day you were Baptized, the power of death
became “stuck on the mud” through the Water and the
Word. It was at that moment that Christ proclaimed
that you were victorious! There is no need to fret to-
day because we have already inherited the Kingdom

Hosted by Nazareth’s Outreach and Mission Board
On Sunday, September 19th, from Noon until 5:00 p.m. Naza-
reth will be sponsoring a booth at Hooray for Hopewell. We
are looking for volunteers to help stuff give-away bags on Friday,
September 17th, and volunteer time to host at the booth on the

Fall Festival and Yard Sale

Organized by Nazareth Lutherans’ Outreach and Mission
Committee

Start putting away things that can be sold at the Yard Sale on Sat-
urday, October 23rd, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Tables
will be available at $10 per space and can be sponsors by groups
or individuals.
Due to a lack of space here at the church, we are asking that
you bring your items the morning of the event and help with set-up and pricing. If you wish to contrib-
ute, and are unable to bring the items yourself, please contact Kara at (804) 265-8846 or (804) 920-4670.
She will work to make arrangements to have the items picked up and stored in advance.
We will need assistance with setting up tables and tents (Hint Hint men folk). All funds earned will be
donated to a local charity, we have not determined who this will be at this time, but should know before
the event. Any suggestions are welcomed. You may keep your earnings or donate them toward the
charity selected.
In addition to this, there will be a Fall Festival, which will go on during the Yard Sale. We are cur-
rently looking for volunteers and event ideas. We would like to have Food items like Hotdogs and possi-
bly a stew and definitely baked goods. Is anyone in the church a “Stew Master” or do you know some-
one that could donate some time to help? I am hoping that our Quilters have some quilts they would like
to display and sale. For the children there will be crafts and other fun activities.
We are looking forward to this event and hope many of you will participate.

A Man called Kimani

Since school is starting, this is a good time for this special story (Sue)
Jesus says we must become like little children when we come to Him. Here is a story of a gentleman
who indeed became like a child. His name is Kimani Maruge; you may have heard of him. He was in
the news a lot a few years ago, as the world’s oldest student. This information comes from the Sep-
tember issue of Guideposts: A young reporter, Kate Snow, describes how she met Kimani and who he
was. He was raised in Kenya, the oldest of seven children in a poor country. He helped his father in
the fields so his younger siblings could go to school. As Kimani grew, his heart’s desire was to get an
elementary school education so he
could read the Bible. In 2003 Kenya
made primary school free for every-
one. At age 84 Kimani saw children
streaming into the school, including his
grandchildren, and he was determined
to go, too. The headmistress shooed
him away five times, since she didn’t
understand. Finally Kimani convinced
her he wanted to learn. He was en-
rolled, and before long, he rose to the
top of his class, mastering math, Eng-
lish, reading and Swahili. Kimani died
at age 89, but all is well. The joy on
his face during these last years spoke
volumes - he had achieved his dream
of reading the Bible, by himself.

General Notes
NURSERY HELP
We surely do need helpers in our nursery! There are some times when we are almost overrun with children.
However, we have to abide by the Standards of Operation for the nursery, which state that helpers must be 13
years old, in the 8th grade, and be enrolled in confirmation or else have made arrangements to be enrolled. This
may rule out a few eager young people, but it does not rule out adult members. Please contact Sue Skalleberg at
731-6959 if your are willing to help out. Thanks.

Music in Worship, Part II
This article is the second in a series on music in Worship. This article will focus on the Biblical background for music
in worship and what types of instruments were used. The final segment, coming out next month, will build upon this
article and discuss what type of music is appropriate for worship.
The following article comes from Dr. Richard C. Leonard. Dr. Leonard was Scripture Editor for The Complete Li-
brary of Christian Worship (Hendrickson, 1993), contributing heavily to Volume I, The Biblical Foundations of Chris-
tian Worship. This article discusses the role of music in the worship of Israel and of the early church, by way of estab-
lishing a biblical foundation for music in the Christian worship of today.
Music in Israelite Worship
Israelite prophets were musicians. During the exodus Miriam the prophetess, taking her tambourine, led the women in
song and dance, celebrating the Lord's triumph over the Egyptians (Exod. 15:20-21). Saul encountered a band of sanc-
tuary prophets who prophesied accompanied by instruments (1 Sam. 10:5). Isaiah composed songs, including one cele-
brating the Lord's deliverance of those who trust in him (Isa. 26:1-
6). The public regarded Ezekiel as "one who has a beautiful voice
and plays well on an instrument" (33:32).
David, a musician as well as a warrior, established the place of
music in the worship of the Lord. Even before the sacrifices had
been moved to Jerusalem, he instructed the Levitical musicians to
celebrate the ark's journey to Zion (1 Chron. 15:16-24), and ap-
pointed Asaph as chief musician in charge of continual thanksgiv-
ing and praise (1 Chron. 16:1-7). The description of this activity (1
Chron. 25:1-7) suggests that these musicians led in a spontaneous
and overwhelming outpouring of worship, especially at high mo-
ments like the dedication of Solomon's temple (2 Chron 5:11-14).
This may be the "new song" to which the Psalms refer (33:3, 40:3,
96:1, 144:9, 149:1). Many Psalms perhaps originated in this pre-
temple Davidic worship centering around the ark of the covenant.
In the temple, music functioned as a "sacrifice of praise," an offer-
ing of song to accompany the offering of sacrifice. Under the Judean rulers, the performance of music became regulat-
ed and standardized. The titles of 55 Psalms refer to the music director, with instructions for performance on various
instruments or using certain tunes. This psalmody remained a feature of Israelite and Jewish worship. After the exile,
Ezra recruited more than 200 Levites for service in the sanctuary (Ezra 8:18-20). First-century Jewish sources indicate
that the choir of Herod's temple consisted of at least twelve adult male singers, with no upper limit. Singers served be-
tween the ages of thirty and fifty, after a five-year training period. The sources also describe the instruments in use at
that time.
After the Babylonian exile, most Jews lived in the Dispersion (areas outside of Palestine) and could not participate in
temple worship. Therefore the synagogue arose for prayer and the study of the Scriptures. The Psalms continued to be
sung, and other portions of the Scriptures as well as prayers were chanted according to a developing system of
"modes." Such Jewish music influenced the worship of the early church.
Israelite worship music was both vocal and instrumental; the sanctuary orchestra contributed to the celebration of Is-
rael's covenant with the Lord. Its instruments fall into the same general classes with which we are familiar — percus-
sion, winds (pipes) and strings. Horns, trumpets, cymbals, harps and lyres were used when the ark was brought to
Mount Zion, and their continued use is reflected in their mention in the Psalms. The sanctuary instruments were not
solo instruments, but sounded simultaneously to call the assembly to worship (Psa. 98:6). Strings and pipes, if used,
probably played the modalities (tune elements) in the psalm being sung, with perhaps distinctive patterns of ornamen-
tation. Horns, trumpets and cymbals added to the festive joy by creating a larger sound. The selah of the Psalms may
have been an instrumental interlude, or a "lifting up" of sound by both singers and instrumentalists. Tambourines, usu-
ally played by women, are mentioned in connection with dancing at Israelite festivals (Psa. 68:25), but were not used
in the sanctuary where only men served as priests and musicians. (continued)
Music in Worship, Part II cont.
Worship Music in the New Testament
The worship of the emerging Christian movement did not produce new forms of music, but shared the
characteristics described above, many of which are still found in the music of historic liturgies. Clearly, the
worship life of the early church included psalms and other forms of song.
The New Testament mentions worship music in several places. The gospel story begins with a hymn of
praise on the lips of the heavenly host, "Glory to God in the highest" (Luke 2:14). Reading the lesson from
Isaiah in the synagogue of Nazareth (Luke 4:16-20), Jesus probably intoned it according to the custom of
the time. The Gospels record that Jesus and his disciples sang a hymn after the Last Supper (Matt. 26:30;
Mark 14:26), probably the "Great Hallel" (Psalms 113-118) of the Passover tradition. Luke records that
Paul and Silas were singing hymns in prison at Philippi when an earthquake occurred (Acts 16:25). Paul
urges the Christians of Ephesus and Colossae to give thanks to God in "psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs" (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16). Describing the assembly of the church of Corinth, he remarks that "everyone
has a psalm" (1 Cor. 14:26) which must blend with the contributions of other worshipers in an orderly ser-
vice. Perhaps "psalms" were the biblical psalms, while "hymns" could have been Chris-
tian music in praise of Christ and "spiritual songs" more spontaneous worship expres-
sions.
Luke quotes several hymns in the beginning chapters of his Gospel. In addition to the
Gloria in Excelsis mentioned above, he includes the Magnificat or Song of Mary (1:46-
55), the Benedictus or Song of Zechariah (1:67-79) and the Nunc Dimittis or Song of
Simeon (2:29-32). Although spoken by several figures in the story of Jesus' birth, these
hymns came to be used in Christian worship at an early period. Paul quotes what may
have been another song, "Awake, O sleeper," in Eph. 5:14. Scholars have suggested that other passages in
Paul's letters are based on primitive Christian hymns in praise of Christ, such as Philippians 2:6-11, Colos-
sians 1:15-20 and 1 Timothy 3:16. Such hymns may have been composed to reinforce Christian teaching
about the nature of Jesus' Messiahship. The Hosanna hymn of the crowds at Jesus' entry into Jerusalem
(Mark 11:9, based on Psa. 118:26) became part of the historic Christian eucharistic celebration.
Musical expression of Christian worship reaches its New Testament climax in the hymns of the Revelation
to John. In John's vision, acts of praise before God's throne accompany the dramatic unfolding of events on
earth. These hymns glorify the Creator (4:11), proclaim the worth of the Lamb (5:9-10; 5:12), extol both
the Father and the Son (5:13; 7:10; 7:12), celebrate God's triumph over the enemies of his people (11:16;
11:17-18; 12:10-12; 19:1-3; 19:6-8), and proclaim his justice (15:3-4; 16:5-7). Additional songs celebrate
the defeat of the unfaithful city, persecutor of the saints (chapter 18). This pageant of praise is initiated by
four living creatures drawn from the vision of Ezekiel, singing words derived from Isaiah's vision in the
temple (Rev. 4:8). It expands to include the elders of the covenant people, the hosts of heaven, and eventu-
ally every creature. Perhaps these hymns reflect the actual worship practice of the church near the end of
the first century. If so, the Revelation offers a window not only into the judgments of God in the earth but
also into the development of Christian liturgy and hymnody.
The New Testament does not supply enough detail to reconstruct the exact musical content of developing
Christian worship. We should avoid the temptation to project the practices of later centuries back into Bible
times. One question is the degree to which Israelite musical practices, including the use of instruments, of-
fer a clue to what was thought appropriate in the New Testament church. Since the Hebrew Scriptures were
still the authority for teaching and practice (1 Tim. 3:16-17), their broad principles regarding music must
have remained the norm. The young church was a community under persecution, and could not apply the
full resources of biblical celebration to its worship assemblies. Nevertheless, the evidence shows that music
played a vital role in the worship of the emerging Christian community. (continued)

Community Service Project Opens Doors for Faith-Sharing in Colorado

Members of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Loveland, Colo., used a service project to
meet children in an apartment complex and invite them to VBS.
07/20/2010

As a congregation, we were able to partner with our local public school over the past
two years with KidsHopeUSA, a wonderful mentoring program. Through that connec-
tion and further conversation with the school's principal, we found out a specific
need and project being done in one of the most troubled areas of our community,
which is in our neighborhood. The project was building a playground for a particu-
larly troubled apartment complex. We had about 30 volunteers from Immanuel who
worked alongside about 200 other volunteers from the community at-large, and in
one day an entire playground was built. We have gained inroads to invite the children
of that complex to our vacation Bible school, and are exploring more opportunities
to provide resources for parents, families, and children, and to continue to open
doors for our neighbors to meet Jesus

Sharing God's Peace During a Crisis in Denver, Colorado

Ted Martin, of St. John's Lutheran Church in Waterbury, Conn., comforted trou-
bled passengers at an airport after an emergency landing.
07/23/2010

I was on a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Chicago when a fire broke out on
board. We landed at 3:00 a.m. at Denver in an empty airport across from the chapel.
When fellow passengers asked why I was calm during the crisis, I commented on my
faith in Christ. While waiting for another plane to carry us to our destination, I con-
ducted a prayer session in the chapel with nearly half of the people from the flight.

An Anglo-Saxon Hymn Writer: The Venerable Bede

By Contributing Writer Jan Graham

Bede was born around 673 in Northumbria (England) and was sent to a monastery to live at the age
seven. Ordained a deacon at 19 then ordained a priest when he was around 30, he spent the remain-
der of his life at the monasteries of Jarrow and Wearmouth, He summarized his life this way: "I have
devoted my energies to a study of the Scriptures, observing monastic discipline, and singing the daily
services in church; study, teaching, and writing have always been my delight."
Although many of his works were in Latin, Bede was the first person to write scholarly works in the
(Old) English language, although only fragments of these
writings have survived. He translated the Gospel of John
into Anglo-Saxon (Old English), completing it on his
death-bed. He also authored Biblical commentaries, po-
ems, primers, and a few hymns. His best-known work
(written in Latin) is the Ecclesiastical History of the Eng-
lish People. Bede provides his view of the history of
Britain up to 729, discussing Celts who converted to
Christianity during the first three centuries of the
Christian era, the invasion of the Anglo-Saxon pagans in
the fifth and sixth centuries, and their subsequent con-
version by Celtic missionaries from the north and west
of England and Roman missionaries from the south and
east. This work was considered a main source for the
history of the Britain during this period, although recent
scholarship has found some of the history inaccurate.
His emphasis was on the history of Christianity in England so political history was not discussed in de-
tail. Bede was the first writer to date events Anno Domini (A.D.), and the earliest known person to
state that the solar year is not exactly 365 and a quarter days long.
Having lived a quiet, scholarly life with a reputation of kindness and goodness, his successor monks
promoted his good works and writings and the word “venerable” was attributed to him by the 9th
century. He has been known as the “Venerable Bede” ever since. The Lutheran Book of Worship in-
cludes one of his hymns: “A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing!” (493 in our LSB hymnal).
