From the Pastor . . .
 
Dear Christian friends:
 
As I write my last article for the All Saints Newsletter, I return again to what St. Paul wrote to the congregation at Philippi:
 
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, thankful for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1.3–6)
 
God began a good work in this place sixty years ago, when Pr. Jack Lindquist began knocking on doors in University City. That work continued through the pastorates of Pr. Bill Montgomery and Pr. Ivor Kraft. And I have been given the privilege of serving the people of God in this place for nineteen years, standing on the shoulders of better men than I. Each of us came here not to serve ourselves but to serve the Church.
 
The Church is apostolic, the place where the apostolic preaching is carried on. The Church is a people at prayer, that is, turned toward the Father, with the Son, in the Spirit. The Church is in communion, koinonia—fellowship, community, participation—with Jesus Christ and with all our companions at his table.
 
It has been my privilege to share your spiritual journeys as we have, together, made our congregational pilgrimage of faith in these years. Christian faith needs a community to be alive and growing. As this particular partnership in ministry comes to an end, I am confident that the All Saints congregation will continue to grow—ultimately, of course, toward the future communion of all the redeemed in the Kingdom of God.
 
The deepest spiritual needs of each of us are joined with the prayers and praises not only of those who kneel beside us but of the whole Church in every time and every place, and with the ceaseless intercessions of our great High Priest, the crucified and risen Lord Jesus. He is the same Christ who makes himself our bread whenever and wherever the bread is taken, blessed, broken, and given. It becomes his body, and so too do those who receive it, also to be taken, blessed, broken, and given for the life of the world.
 
I thank you for the opportunity to preach and teach, to break the bread and lift up the cup of salvation among you and with you for these years. And I ask your forgiveness for all my shortcomings, remembering, what the Lord said to St. Paul, as he passed it on to the Corinthian congregation: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (II Corinthians 12.9)
 
Grace and peace,
Paul Bieber, STS, Pastor 
 
 
Farewell Reception 
 
The congregation would like to honor Pastor Bieber’s retirement with a reception after his last service on August 31st. We will be serving light fare and everyone is welcome to attend. For those who would like to bring something, a sign-up sheet for food and drink will be available on the church’s bulletin board. If you have questions, please ask Laurel Hansen.
