From the Pastor’s Desk
November is here, for many that means Thanksgiving is coming (hunting
too). Time to get the family together and the meal prepared so that we can join in
thanksgiving to God for all the blessings of the past year and for the best blessing of
all, Jesus Christ our Savior! As we approach this holiday season, let us all seek to
remember the many things that we have to be thankful for. No matter what physical
possessions we may or may not have, or the current state of our lives, we are all
blessed by God’s love for us. God has given us so much, many known and unknown blessings, that it is
only right to praise Him and to come with thanksgiving. I hope that we remember our blessings not just
once a year, but every day and I hope that we respond to God’s love with thanksgiving not just once a year,
but every day as well, thankfulness should be a natural state of being for those who have encountered the
love of God.
To help us remember and express our thanksgiving regularly we take time in our worship services to
respond to God’s love by giving of our time, talents, and finances, along with our lives to God for the glory
of His name and for the work of the Church. These acts are an important part of worship, but God desires
that we will live out our lives for Him every day. I encourage us to daily lift up praise for those blessings
that we have, big and small, both the obvious things like the birth of a child, or a promotion, and the things
that we may take for granted like food, family, clothing, health and work.
As we recognize our blessings let us also recognize that a part of showing thanks to God is to let
God bless others through us by how we live and how we give. I am inspired by the people in our
congregation who, year after year, faithfully pledge and give abundantly. We have truly found that with
God we will have enough and much to share. I think of Jesus’ words in John 10, where He says that He has
come so we may have life and have it abundantly. We are blessed with many gifts here at Christ Church;
God has truly blessed us abundantly and is blessing others through us.
Through the history of the Christian Church God’s people have been marked by their spirit of hope,
love, and generosity because of the change God makes in their lives through Christ. Let us continue to
keep true to this pattern. Let us show those around us that there is something different about God’s people,
let us live out of our joy in Christ and be thankful in all situations and generous with our time, talent, and
finances. I am excited and looking forward to the things that God will do through those who live with an
attitude of gratitude and who are willing to be formed and directed by the Holy Spirit. Have a great
Thanksgiving.
.
God Bless,
Pastor George J. Kafer

SCRIP

immediate purchase as well. The program is simple, free, and allows you to be a good steward of your
funds as you donate money for ministry by spending it on your regular purchases since the church gets
a percentage for the company for each card purchased! If you wish to place orders online go to
www.shopwithscrip.com to register, the enrollment code for Christ Church is 91LDB747375L9.
Paper order forms will be available at the church as well. Purchases can be paid online from your
bank account or to Christ Church by check. Questions, call Kelly Swiggett at 262-633-5973. We will

DISCIPLINED FOLLOWERS OF JESUS
A disciplined person is someone who can do the right thing at the right time in the right way
with the right spirit. A disciplined person is not simply someone who exercises many disciplines. A
disciplined person is not a highly systematic, rigidly scheduled, chart-making, gold-star-loving early
riser. The Pharisees were rigid and organized, but they were not disciplined persons in the sense
required by true discipleship.
Disciplined people can do what is called for at any given moment. They can do the right thing at
the right time in the right way for the right reason. This definition applies to artists and athletes and
astronauts as well as to followers of Jesus. A disciplined follower of Jesus -- a "disciple" -- is not
someone who has "mastered the disciplines" and never misses a daily regimen of spiritual exercises. A
disciplined follower of Jesus is someone who discerns when laughter, gentleness, silence, healing
words, or prophetic indignation is called for, and offers it promptly, effectively, and lovingly.
-- John Ortberg in The Life You've Always Wanted

Apportionment Giving
Christ Church has a history of 100%
apportionment giving, allowing us to
help transform lives by God’s love.
Apportionments provide for ministries
that directly help over 50,000 people in
Wisconsin and many more beyond. In
2014 our apportionment is $50,483, if
we each give faithfully to the general
fund and if able a special gift for
apportionments, $130 a year per
member, we can continue to support
connectional ministries and free up
more of our general funds to increase
outreach and ministry in our local area.
Stewardship Makes a Difference!
Thank you for all the ways you support
ministry. This newsletter has examples
of how our church is making a
difference in people’s lives through
your giving! It is good to see people
trusting in God and answering His
call to give. People are offering
themselves to serve and their financial
giving (several tithing 10% of income,
or working toward tithing)! Check the
connection table for Electronic Fund
Transfer forms and ways to give of your
time and talent as well. As you respond
to God’s call in the giving of your time,
talent, and resources remember if you
have a need contact Pastor George.
A Sound Money Management Plan
God desires that we live balanced and abundant lives.
God knows that money can cause us problems both the
lack of it and letting it rule our heart. The 10-10-80 money
management principle helps us keep things in check and
honor God. Tithe 10% of our income to God through the
Church, save at least 10% of our income for future needs, and
then live off the remaining 80%. Doing this grows our
relationship with God, helps enable the ministry of God’s
Church, and helps us to have financial freedom.
The idea is give back to God and live within your
means, don’t borrow money for something that is not a
need, instead, save up for it. Don’t fall into the trap that says
more stuff equals more happiness and don’t think that what
you have is just yours and ignore God’s financial directions.
All that we have is a gift from God and earned by the talents
and skills God has given us. In our culture money is an idol,
which holds the center spot in many people’s heart, God
wants that center spot, and following the Biblical model of
tithing is an expression of gratitude and a tangible way to
put God first and help carry out His will.
Those who have learned to trust God in tithing have
found that God is faithful to provide. For your own spiritual
growth and the growth of our church, I pray that that you will
join Cassandra and me along with others at Christ Church in
following a money management plan that allows us to be good
stewards and God honoring with our income.
God Bless, Pastor George

Loving Christ or Culture?
In a recent article for his blog, Ed
Stetzer writes: "Too many churches love their
church culture more than they love Christ's
mission. Yet if I follow Paul in the way he
followed Christ, I will care for people of the
culture who exist outside my church. The
gospel has not changed. The mission has not
changed. It is still on a mission of
reconciliation, pleading on behalf of Christ,
"Be reconciled to God" (2 Cor. 5:20). So if
we're going to endure today, to be faithful in
faithless times, we're going to have to leave
where we are comfortable. We're going to
have to go and tell, not just wait for them to
come and see. We always must build a
biblically faithful church, but live in the
context where we find ourselves.
Where we are may influence the way
we have conversations about Jesus, but the
conversations always are about Jesus. Paul
was unashamed to say, "What you have
worshiped in ignorance, this I proclaim to
you." We live in a world where people are
unaware of the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
The answer for being faithful in faithless
times is to take the unchanging gospel
message to build bridges, start conversations
and engage in relationships with people who
are far from God. The problem is that many
of us have forgotten that ministry must be less
about us and more about Jesus, His Kingdom
and His mission. When I look to Paul, I am
struck with his boldness and savvy. May we
all be bold and wise as we engage an
increasingly hostile and confused culture
around us with the greatest news the world
has ever known--Jesus Christ, the way, the
truth and the life."
