Ed Lantz
Senior Pastor
I concluded last month’s article by
saying that United Methodism emphasizes
regular and constant observance of Holy
Communion. This month I’ll talk about the
reason for the emphasis.
Perhaps the place to begin is with a
brief definition of a sacrament.
“Sacraments are sign acts [initiated by
Christ], which include words, actions, and
physical elements [i.e., bread, wine, water]
which convey and express the gracious
love of God. United Methodism, along
with the majority of Protestants, claims two
sacraments: Baptism and Communion.
Baptism is the sacrament of initiation into
the Body of Christ. Communion is the
sacrament that sustains us in our faith
journey.
The meaning of communion is
understood on several levels:
Communion is an act of Thanksgiving.
Daylight Savings The early Christians broke bread with glad
hearts (Acts 2:46-47). The term
Time Ends “Eucharist” – Greek for “Thanksgiving” –
expresses the idea. At communion we
Remember to
give thanks for God’s gracious love
set your clocks culminating in the world of Christ and the
back one hour on ongoing work of the Holy Spirit.
Saturday, November 6. Communion is an act of fellowship with
the church. We acknowledge that all
believers are part of the same body.
Communion is a memorial of the
suffering and death of Jesus. “Do this in

l 214.946.8106 l www.tsumc.org
remembrance of me.” (Lk. 22:19; 1 Cor.
11:24-25). “In Wesleyan terms, however,
‘memorial’ means more than merely a
remembrance of Christ’s death. Time and
space are no barriers to this sacramental
memorial. It crosses those dimensions
which separate us from Calvary.” (Basic
United Methodist Beliefs, 82). “This
dynamic action becomes representation of
past gracious acts of God in the present,
so powerfully as to make them truly
present now.” (THM, 7)
Communion is an experience of
sacrifice. We recall Christ’s sacrifice for
us. We also recognize the role of self-
sacrifice as we proclaim in the liturgy, ‘We
offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving
as a holy and living sacrifice….” (UMH,
14)
Communion is a means of grace.
“Means of grace” are special channels
through which grace flows. “While divine
grace reaches us any time and in any way
that God chooses, God has designated
certain means or channels through which
grace is most surely and immediately
available.” (THM, 6) Communion is one of
these means. We believe, therefore, that
holy communion is much more than just
remembering what happened. During
communion we experience and receive
God’s grace in powerful ways. The
sacrament offers grace that leads people
to an awareness of their need for a savior.
It offers grace for people to respond to
Jesus’ invitation to accept him as Lord
and Savior and to be forgiven of their sins.
It offers grace for the believer to grow in
faith.
Communion is a reminder of heaven
and God’s eternal purpose. The holy
meal is a pledge of a greater meal that all
believers will share. The liturgy reminds
us to be one in ministry, “until Christ
November, 2010
comes in final victory and we feast at his
heavenly table.” (UMH, 14)
How does all this happen? It happens
because Christ is present at holy
communion. Though we do not embrace
the bread and wine literally becoming the
body and blood of Jesus, we do believe in
a “real, personal, living presence.” “We
understand the divine presence in
temporal and relational terms. In the holy
meal of the church, the past, present, and
future of the living Christ come together by
the power of the Holy Spirit so that we
may receive and embody Jesus Christ as
a God’s saving gift for the world.” (THM,
12)
As part of our Advent worship this year,
we will be sharing communion each
Sunday morning during Advent. As well,
we will be receiving it through intinction,
whereby the piece of bread is dipped into
the common cup. Even though we
occasionally share communion by
intinction, it is not our regular mode. I
believe these four weeks will be helpful for
a couple of reasons. One, it will help us
grow more comfortable with a practice that
is becoming increasingly more utilized
across the Church. Two, and most
important, the single cup reminds us of
our common journey of faith, and our
connection with one another. As members
of the same Body we journey together.
What a privilege it is to serve with you
at Tyler Street! I’m thankful.
Blessings,
Ed

“The Heart of
Generosity”
This year’s stewardship program, October
17–November 7, is called “The Heart of Gen-
erosity.” Please join us as we celebrate God’s
generous heart and discover the joy of gener-
osity.
Stewardship Celebration Sunday is Novem-
ber 7. On this special Sunday we will join
together for only one worship service at
10:50 am. During worship we will have the
opportunity to offer our prayerful financial
commitments for 2011. Following worship
everyone is invited and encouraged to join our
church-wide luncheon to celebrate what God
is doing at Tyler Street.
As “The Heart of Generosity” approaches,
1) Please be in prayer for our stewardship
team.
2) Please be in prayer about your commit-
ment for 2011. Your estimate of giving is vi-
tal to our planning of ministries for the com-
ing year.
3) Please mark your calendar to join us
each week and especially on November 7 for
Celebration Sunday.

means and eventually the cross. Jesus acted out
His calling by turning His cheek and forgiving His
tormentors. Through His crucifixion, Jesus defeated
evil and death no longer had power over Him. Evil
is real and powerful in the world today. Both the
Church and our culture are under spiritual attack.
The gospel stories teach us how to deal with evil in
our own lives by forgiving, loving, and praying for
our enemies.
COVENANT Mike Walker taught us on Oct. 3
from Acts 9. He focused in on Ananias, who was
called by God to go to Saul after Saul was touched
by Jesus on the road to Damascus. We lose sight of
Ananias and the important role he played. His obe-
dience could have been life threatening, yet he
trusted and did what God told him to do. We are
thankful for Ananias ministering to Paul so that Paul
would bring the words of Jesus to us. These are the
questions Mike ended with; Are we willing to take
on the tough assignments? Will we settle for no-
risk discipleship? Are we eager to embrace the be-
ginning faith of others with a problematic past?
Mike Walker continued in Acts on Oct. 10, looking
at tough assignments. The scripture setting was Acts
13 in Antioch where the church was alive and quite
diverse. The Holy Spirit delivered God’s message
to a group of worshipers, that Barnabas and Saul
(Paul) were to be set aside for God’s work, that
work resulted in Paul’s first missionary journey. The
church supported Paul and Barnabas and sent them
on their journey with the church’s blessings. Paul
and Barnabas experienced many challenges; sepa-
ration from friends and family, travel difficulties
and opposition from many people, Jews included.
Yet they persevered and brought the Gospel to the
Keck Williams, Stephanie Martinez and Eunice
Reading.
WEDDING RING Class opened on Oct. 3 with
Ed Logan at the piano and we sang “Blessed
Assurance” and “America the Beautiful.” Prayer
by Tom. Evelyn’s report was R.E.’s younger
brother had heart by-pass surgery and is doing
well. Mary Lu is still in Carrollton continuing
with her cancer treatment. Mary Etta has fallen
again at home. We were glad to have Nina with
us today. R.E. gave a devotion on “My Old
Bible.” Frank gave his lesson on the book of
Mark. Class opened on Oct. 10 with Ed Logan at
the piano and we sang “Count Your Blessings”
and “America the Beautiful.” Evelyn’s report was
Mary Etta is doing much better, getting stronger,
praise God! R.E.’s brother is doing better also. A
card was there for everyone to sign going to Mary
Lu. Joe had the morning prayer and LaVerne
had the devotion, titled “Finger Prayer.” Estelle
Holley, our guest teacher, taught on “Wisdom of
the Bible.” We always enjoy Estelle’s teaching.
Class opened on Oct. 17 with Ed Logan at the
piano and we sang “Tis So Sweet to Trust in
Jesus” and “America the Beautiful.” Evelyn re-
ported that MaryEtta is home with the flu, Mary
Lu is about the same, Scott Sherard said Milligan
and Marcelle are holding their own and his 3-
year old son is smart! Our prayers to the family
of Jack Rhodes of the Two by Two Class who
died this past Friday. Also to the family of Ed
Logan in the loss of his granddaughter. Evelyn
then brought a real cute devotion, “Everything
we learn about life we learn from Noah’s Ark.”

Happy Thanksgiving!! Coats,

by Keum Hwang
How many of us today go out to the field to
harvest corn, wheat or other food and truly give
thanks to God for a wonderful harvest. Person-
ally, I give thanks for the money to buy food and
not really think about what hardships the farmers
had to go through to put food on my table. For
city folk like me, the meaning of Thanksgiving
has changed. I give thanks for the blessings God
has bestowed on me throughout the year, which
may or may not include food. I give thanks for
family, a wonderful work place, music, voice,
place to live, health etc… and perhaps food.
UMH 694 “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come”
The modern British tradition of celebrating
Harvest Festival in churches began in 1843,
when the Reverend Robert Hawker invited
parishioners to a special thanksgiving service at
his church at Morwenstow in Cornwall.
Victorian hymns such as “We Plough the Fields
and Scatter,” “Come, Ye Thankful People,
Come” and “All Things Bright and Beautiful”
helped popularize his idea of Harvest Festival
and spread the annual custom of decorating
churches with homegrown produce for the
Harvest Festival service. (www.lilesnet.com/
thanksgiving/midi/)
What do you do with left over food after
Thanksgiving Day? Make sandwiches? Come up
with new and creative ways to make the food last
a bit longer, especially with all the labor
everyone spent making the food? But let’s not
forget those who didn’t have warm food to eat,
those who had to sleep on the street, those who
are just trying to survive the next hour. Will you
lift a prayer for countries that do not have
enough food to share with their people? Let’s
give thanks for surplus and perhaps give reasons
to others to give thanks to our Lord who
provided for our needs and more.

CHALLENGE On October 3, John Wilks pre-
sented the first of five lessons about evil. What
is evil? During the next few weeks we will be
looking at how people perceive evil in the world
and Biblical ways to deal with it. Part of the
teaching was a video clip of N. T. Wright, a
bishop of Durham Anglican Church, who is a
conservative Biblical scholar and preacher. Our
“homework” for the week is to try to identify
situations where evil is affecting good. On Oc-
tober 10, John Wilks continued his series on
“evil.” This lesson focused on evil in the Old
Testament. In the accompanying DVD, Bishop
N. T. Wright explained the process of evil from
the time Adam and Eve were expelled from the
Garden of Eden through the sinfulness of the Is-
raelites. Bishop Wright looked at the results of
our free will to make choices and the fact that
lines between good and evil are not always easy
to draw. He provided examples of this related to
the Holocaust and to the Aids epidemic in South
Africa. John reminded us that to resist God is to
embrace evil. Satan wants to get our focus off
of God. Resisting Satan’s temptations and evil
is a daily fight. God wants us to love and choose
Him. On October 17 and 24, John Wilks contin-
ued his lesson on evil by looking at the New
Testament to see how God dealt with it. God
sent Jesus to fight against evil through peaceful
Gentile world. Questions to reflect on this week;
Am I concerned about the Gospel reaching the en-
tire world? Am I willing to immediately obey God’s
call? Am I willing to take seriously what God’s
community around me is called to? Am I willing
and able to worship with people from diverse back-
grounds? Am I willing to do anything tough that
God assigns me? Mike Walker taught on Oct. 17
from Joshua 1:1-18 on the tough assignment that
Joshua received after the death of Moses. Mike left
us with several very challenging questions this
morning. Are we willing to step into challenging
roles that God may put before us? Where are our
hears and minds focused? Can we trust God enough
to obey him? Do we know where the power lies?
Can we be in a minority and still give ourselves to
the whole? Mike Walker continued his teaching se-
ries on “Tough Assignments” on Oct. 24 with the
account in Genesis 22 of Abraham and Isaac. Have
you ever faced tough choices? Wondered at God’s
ways? Do our most precious things belong to God?
When God speaks do we obey? Obedience to God
sometimes doesn’t make sense to us, but we need
to ultimately trust God with the outcome. Sad news
from former members Andy and Sherry Gallman.
Sherry’s father passed away. Please keep them in
your prayers. Thank you, Ginger, for coordinating
our class picnic. We had a great time! Happy No-
vember birthdays to Donna Reed, Ason Louviere,
was in prison during an earthquake and told the
jailer not to worry “we are all here.” Class opened
on Oct. 24 with Ed Logan at the piano and we
sang “Trust and Obey” and “America the Beau-
tiful.” Evelyn gave her report: Mary Etta is do-
ing better, Herby went to the hospital for a check-
up and hopes to come back soon. LaVerne talked
to Ann Morell and found out that Lenny Stadler
(her son-in-law) has colon cancer and really
needs our prayers. Frank then brought the
prayer and followed with a devotion about
“Love God and People.” We were glad to have
Ed Thomas and his daughter, Teresa, with us
today. Our guest teacher, Leon McWhorter,
brought a fantastic lesson on “The Art Gallery
in Heaven.” Thank you Leon, and please come
again. Class opened on Oct. 31 with Ed Logan
at the piano and we sang “He Lives” and
“America the Beautiful.” Evelyn’s report fol-
lowed: Mary Lu likes where she is living in
Carrollton, Herby is at home with her daugh-
ter Ann for a few days, Mary Etta is getting
stronger. We are glad to have Helen back. Joe
had our morning prayer and LaVerne brought
the devotion. Then our wonderful visiting
teacher, Marty Walker, was her usual vivacious
self. She based her lesson on Genesis 22,
“Trusting God.” Great lesson and please come
back again soon, Marty!

If you were in church a few weeks ago, you were blessed to
hear from Tyler Street Christian Academy super-teacher Jim
Bayless; Mr. Bayless teaches Calculus, Math and Physics at TSCA.
Mr. Bayless shared about his TSCA students and their student
built robot.
He heard about a local robot competition where students would
build their own robot, with their hands only. So Mr. Bayless thought
he would see if TSCA students would be interested. Well, over 40
students showed up for the first meeting and the I Robot Club
began the planning and construction of the TSCA BroBot!
The competition held recently at Mountain View Community
College included 28 area private and public schools. The Tyler
Street Christian Academy BroBot competed admirably through
several events leading the entire competition. When the door fell
off and the BroBot was eliminated from further events, the TSCA
students stopped right then and there and prayed for their BroBot.
When the remaining competitive events were completed, the TSCA
BroBot still earned a fifth place showing! We are proud of Mr.
Bayless and the TSCA BroBot!
