December 2021/January 2022
For most of my life, I refused to celebrate Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. I didn’t want to listen to
Christmas music or see any decorations or start shopping for presents. I wanted Thanksgiving to have its own
time and place in the year. I liked the cozy autumnal decor my mom always put up. And I loved the fall season. I
never wanted to surrender it early and admit that it was “beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”
But this year, I have taken a different attitude toward the holidays. D.J. and I thought about getting our tree long
before Thanksgiving, a friend of mine sent me a photo of her decorations in mid-November, and I found myself
starting to hum all my favorite Christmas songs while doing the dishes.
I think part of it was because I found myself craving that extra sparkle that is in the air around Christmas time -
the feeling of lightness and joy that can come with the jingle bells, the carols, and those classic Christmas movies.
I have found myself wanting the soft glow of Christmas lights and candles and perhaps a fire in the fireplace as I
cozy up with a blanket and a cup of tea or hot chocolate.
In this time when the days get shorter, it is a welcome place of joy in the midst of nights that come earlier and
earlier.
And within it all, we have the reminder of the love and hope and grace and peace that came to our world in the
form of an infant. We remember that God came to our world in the form of a human and was born, took his first
breaths, and was swaddled by his mother in this vulnerable form. That he learned and grew and gathered a group
of friends and walked and taught and healed and changed the world. And in his death and resurrection, he
brought the ultimate, incredible gift of new life. And it all starts in these days that appear to be cold and dark but
are indeed filled with light, love, and hope.
Sometimes I wish Christmas came a bit later. Not to stretch out even more time for Thanksgiving, but because I
want the anticipation, the sparkle, that special Christmas feeling to last just a bit longer. I want the kind greetings
and holiday bustle to help us through the days of January, when things are cold and grey.
But then I remember that God is present in our lives everyday. That in the grey days of January, God is still
showing us beauty and truth and hope. Perhaps we see it more readily in the days of Christmas cheer, when
everything has a warm glow. But God is not confined to the days filled with sparkle. God walked through all the
days of a year in our world. God saw grey days and sparkly days and rainy days and exhausting days and joyful
days. God understands what our days feel like and walks with us in solidarity; God remains present with us
through it all and wraps us in a loving embrace.
So may we see ever clearer the presence of God in our lives - in the cheery days, in the more difficult days, and
everyday of our lives. May we remember that the love God freely gives us surrounds us no matter what kind of
day we’re having.
Extending God’s Love
This fall…First English extended God's love into the community and beyond in a variety of ways including:
Habitat for Humanity Faith Build
In September, members of First English volunteered at the Rice County Habitat for
Humanity's Faith Build site in Northfield. Working with other volunteers from around the
county, including the future homeowners, First English volunteers worked on
Saturday and Sunday. Some volunteers brought lunch and others worked to install
insulation in the quad home - a build project that was scheduled to be completed in 2020
but which was delayed due to the pandemic.
Rice County Habitat for Humanity has partnered with 49 families since 1991 to help them achieve their dream of home
ownership and to help provide stability not only for the families but for our communities. Families are selected based
on their need for housing, their ability to pay a mortgage, and their willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity, for
example putting in 350 hours of sweat equity into their homes. First English has been a partner with Habitat for many
years and is now one of eleven Rice County congregations designated as a Faith Builder Congregation. Faith Builder
congregations are committed to helping Rice County Habitat by providing volunteer support and financial contributions
each year.
CROP Hunger WALK
On October 2nd, a small group of walkers met at the Episcopal Cathedral to participate in the 31 st Faribault Area CROP
Hunger Walk. Congregations represented at the walk included The Cathedral of our Merciful Savior, Christ Lutheran
Church, First English Lutheran Church, Fourth Avenue United Methodist Church, Hope United Methodist Church, and
Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. Total funds raised was $13,122.16. Seventy percent of proceeds were sent to Church
World Service and twenty five percent was given to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Shelf.
The goal of Church World Service (CWS) is: building a world where there is enough for all. Begun in 1946, in the
aftermath after World War II, Church World Service was formed by seventeen denominations who came together to
“to do in partnership what none of us could hope to do as well alone.” The mission: Feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, heal the sick, comfort the aged, shelter the homeless.” From 1946 to the present, Church World Service has
resettled over half a million refugees. Other efforts include food relief, housing projects, water projects, healthcare
supplies, and disaster relief. Recently, CWS was one of the founding members of a global partnership of faith-based
humanitarian agencies called ACT Alliance. This group includes 130 organizations with members in 140 countries and
was formed in an effort to better respond to human needs around the world. By working together, agencies can
maximize their impact.
In 1947 our Lutheran World Relief and the National Catholic Welfare Program created a joint community hunger appeal,
the Christian Rural Overseas Program, also known as CROP. The program is gone but the name and life-saving work
remains as CROP Hunger Walks in some 800 plus communities around the United States, including Faribault.
Harvest Feast
Friends from First English and from the community gathered on October 17 to share in a Harvest Feast sponsored by the
Fellowship Ministry Team. The “feast” included appetizers, meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy, squash, corn,
beets, and pumpkin dessert. Seasonal decorations added to the festivities in the Front Entry and
Dining Room. Fellowship Team members, along with other First English volunteers including youth,
helped to create a wonderful evening of food and fellowship. Some comments heard from guests
that evening included: “What a great event!,” “When’s the last time you sang a round for Grace?,”
“The fall season followed us right in the door.” “The décor, food, and servers – 5 stars!” Proceeds
from the meal came to $1,000 and will be distributed to local charities for the holiday season.
Thank you to the Fellowship Team and all who volunteered to help celebrate the season of autumn
together and to give thanks for the blessings of abundance.
New Advent Wreath Stand and Baptismal Display at First English
Two new pieces of functional, liturgical art will begin to be used at First English in the coming months. The art was
designed and created by local artists and funded through memorial gifts.
Advent Wreath Stand
First English will mark the Sundays in Advent this year with a new Advent wreath stand.
Designed and built by St. Paul artist Kris Swanson, the oak stand is stained clear like the
baptismal font with a unique open design including five narrow posts. The posts hold a crucible-
shaped top base that is slightly slanted upwards. A brass candle socket rests on each of the four
arms of the top base and another socket sits at the center of the base to hold the Christ candle.
Supports connecting the posts to the top base and bottom base are made of darker stained oak,
like the wood used on the processional cross and Paschal candle stands. A custom-made block
has also been made to provide extra room for the stand when it is placed near the stairs in the
chancel. New brass followers have also been purchased for use with the candles. The previous
Advent wreath stand was in need of replacement due to age and condition.
Baptismal Display (Cradle Roll)
There is a long tradition at First English of presenting faith formation gifts to children as a way of encouraging them in
their faith journey and marking their participation in Sunday School, Catechism, and Confirmation.
Starting at baptism, children at First English receive a book and pewter shell to help mark the gift of baptism and to
encourage their parents as they fulfill the promises they made on behalf of their child(ren). As a child grows, the
church provides additional gifts that include devotional books, bibles, prayer books, recorded music, and a copy of the
Small Catechism. Recent changes to the sources of some of these gifts, along with a desire for a new, more visible
way of remembering baptized children at First English, led to the creation of a new baptismal display that will hang in
the Narthex.
The display is a series of waves carved from butternut wood by local carver, Ivan Whillock. Under the waves are two
sets of hooks. From the hooks will hang small metal fish – one fish for each child baptized at First English. The fish,
designed and created by Kris Swanson (who is also building the Advent wreath stand), will hang at different lengths
but will be “swimming together” in a school following a larger fish that represents Jesus. The fish is not only
connected to baptism through the water but is a symbol of God’s abundant blessing in the Gospel story and is an
ancient symbol of Christianity.
The display will hang in the Narthex outside the sanctuary. On the day a child is baptized at First English, parents and
sponsors will place a metal fish under the waves. When that child is three years old and ready to start Sunday School,
their parents will take the fish off the display and give it to their child - a version of what some may remember as a
Cradle Roll ceremony. The Cradle Roll board listing the names of baptized children will
continue to be maintained outside the Sacristy in the Education Wing.
The new baptismal display will celebrate God’s gifts of blessing that come through our
baptism into Christ, through the gifts of family, friends, and this community of faith, and
through the wonder of creation.
The new Advent wreath stand will enhance our worship by holding the candles that remind us of our Advent hope –
the promise of the light that shines in the darkness. Special thanks to Ivan Whillock and Kris Swanson for sharing their
creative gifts with First English, and thank you to all who contributed funds to support these works of art.
Bless the creators, O God of creation, who by their gifts make the world a more joyful and beautiful realm. Through their
labors they teach us to see more clearly the truth around us. In their inspiration they call forth wonder and awe in our own
living. In their hope and vision, they remind us that life is holy. Bless all who create in your image, O God of creation. Pour
your Spirit upon them that their hearts may sing, and their works be fulfilling. Amen.
-From "Prayers of Our Heart" by Vienna Cobb Andersen
FELC Youth Scoop
Confirmation Sunday
On October 31, 2021, Reformation Day, we celebrated our 2021
Confirmands during a special 11 am worship. Owen Hanson, Collin Midland, Loren Tatge
III, and Zachary Weston affirmed their Baptisms, and were surrounded by family,
sponsors, mentors, and our community of faith at First English. Jim Lenway, Dave Miller,
and D.J. Chatelaine provided contemporary music, and Maxine Severson began the
service to lead the processional on organ.
Here are the self-chosen life verses for each of our Confirmands:
Owen: Romans 8:38-39
Collin: John 10:11
Loren: Hebrews 10:23
Zachary: John 16:33
Also on that Sunday, our 2020 Confirmands reunited to take their class picture, as the pandemic restrictions
prevented this gathering from happening last year.
Thanks be to God for our 2020 and 2021 Confirmands!
3rd Grade Retreat
After a one-year hiatus, the third grade retreat returned with high spirits and tasty food. This retreat is the
opportunity for our third graders to receive an orientation to the Bible. Games and activities like the Bible word
find are paired with an abbreviated history of the Bible and why we have it. The peak of the morning, however, is
the Bible foods game: 3rd graders are given specific Bible verses with questions to help them get acclimated to
using their Bible. For example, Exodus 28:33-34 is the verse given with the question, “What is
the name of the blue, purple, and crimson stitched food on the Priestly vestment?” (Answer:
pomegranate).
After all the foods are identified, the third graders head over to the kitchen window,
where a row of mysteriously covered bowls and trays await. When each food is identified, the
cloth covering the bowl or plate is lifted to reveal its contents. After everything is revealed,
third graders and parents enjoy a feast of Biblical proportions! Grapes, figs, cheese, crackers,
meat, pomegranates, and smoked salmon are some of the highlights. Third graders leave
with full bellies and a spirit of eagerness to receive their Bibles the next morning in worship.
Community Cathedral Café
November marked one full year that our Confirmation youth have been serving as runners for the
Community Cathedral Café. Every third Tuesday of the month, we bring meals from inside the Cathedral out to
folks waiting in their cars. Our youth have been able to connect with a variety of folks, while serving their
neighbors. As a part of Team 3, we work together across generations to provide food for those who need a hot
meal. Through 12 months, we as Team 3 have helped serve over 4,000 meals to people in the Faribault
community. Praise God for this vital ministry!
If you would like to get more involved in our youth ministry, please let me know at dcym@firstenglishfaribault.org. We are
always looking for volunteers, chaperones, and mentors! Thank you for your continued prayers and support of our youth
ministry! D.J. Chatelaine, Director of Children and Youth Ministry

Mission focus for December – HOPE Center
The mission of HOPE Center is to create zero tolerance for sexual and domestic violence through healing,
outreach, prevention, and education. General victim support includes crisis intervention, a 24-hour Safeline,
emergency safe housing, support groups, assistance with the criminal justice system and orders for protection,
and referrals. The HOPE Center works with community partners to promote community-wide solutions and hosts
education events for community groups and training for HOPE Center volunteers. As we move through the days
of Advent – a season of hope – we support the work of the HOPE Center and its efforts to serve victims/survivors
and to raise awareness about the impact sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse has on our
community. To make a gift to the HOPE Center, write checks to First English with “HOPE” in the memo line.
God’s Global Barnyard
During the season of Advent, students will be participating in a fundraising event an ELCA-sponsored program
called “God’s Global Barnyard.” On Sunday November 21, Sunday School students will receive a cardboard coin-
collection bank to take home and fill with donations. These funds will need to be returned to FELC by Sunday
December 19 to be collected by Sunday School teachers and donated.
Donations for “God’s Global Barnyard” will support the sustainable development programs of ELCA World Hunger
by purchasing farm animals for families in need. Some of these animals provide food to eat, fertilizer for crops, or
offspring to sell at the market. For additional information about this program, you can visit
www.ELCA.org/goodgifts.
Mission Focus for January – Growing Up Healthy
Since 2006, Growing Up Healthy has been serving Rice County families, including immigrant and Latinx families.
Growing Up Healthy cultivates neighborhood leadership, works to build social connectedness, and also works for
systems-level change. Areas of special focus this year for the organization are early childhood education and
distribution of winterization kits to residents of mobile home parks. Growing up Healthy is a program supported
by Healthy Community Initiative (HCI), an organization committed to building partnerships and encouraging
community collaborations that support, value, and empower youth in Rice County. To make a gift to Growing Up
Healthy write checks to First English with “Healthy” in the memo line.

January 3.Christmastime is here again, and we would like to share some memories of Christmas at First English from
over the years. First, we will hear a story from Tovah Sellner...
A few years ago I was working on the
Christmas program, and the children‘s music director
planned on having the 3 year olds sing as a group.
Lola asked me if she could have a part in the program.
I think because her brother Owen and sister Stella
each were participating in the program, and she
wanted to be included. I offered her the part of an
Ange,l and she wasn’t impressed. I explain that next to
Jesus, the angels were so important. Angels sang and
appeared to the shepherds. The angels told the
shepherds about Jesus, and they told them to follow
the star. If the angels hadn’t been there, the shepherds
wouldn’t have known how to find the Baby Jesus. That
sparked her interest and she agreed to be an Angel. Of
course she was the tiniest Angel and so Carole Hanson
sewed a tiny white Angel costume just for Lola.
Program practice went well, and the children were ready. Sunday morning was a buzz of excitement. A couple
of moms volunteered to direct children when it was time for kings or shepherds to enter.
When it was time for Lola to enter she began to pull off her little eye patch. I tried to stop her and told her
we should ask mom first. Lola looked straight at me and firmly said NO! Then she calmly said; “Tovah, angels
don’t need eye patches.” Lola is right. I will forever remember this child and her faith and wisdom. God Bless
the children!!
There are many other memories associated with the Nativity play, a beloved tradition at First English.
Here’s one from Jena Bothun:
When I think of Christmas at FELC I think of Christmas Eve and my mom Beth putting together the
Nativity play for over 20 years. She always made the Sunday School kids feel special and the congregation
looked forward to watching it each year.Some of our current Confirmation youth have memories to share about more recent Christmases at FELC:
Playing an angel in the Christmas play. Christmas activities in the Dining Room.
-Amanda Cullen, Stella Carlin -Natalia Wood
When I was Mary in the Christmas play. Going to church on Christmas.
-Olivia Streefland -Will Dietz
The big Christmas tree. Singing, seeing friends, and holding candles &
-Sam Dietz blowing them out. AND CHRISTMAS CAROLS!
-Krisha Schwartz
Decorating Christmas Cookies.
-Courtney Keilen Singing Christmas Carols on Christmas Eve and in
choir with Emma.
Being with my grandparents. -Teegan Embury
-Tanner Milewski
Pictured to the left is the 1946 Christmas Day bulletin cover from
worship at First English. Finishing our trip down memory lane, Tovah
Sellner and Randy Twiehoff have fond memories of the Christmas Eve
service, in particular:
Christmas Eve service; Bruce and I always went and took our
daughter Erin. I have such a wonderful vivid memory holding my
daughter who at the time was a toddler. Over (40) years ago. Karen
Parker on the piano and her father on the violin making beautiful music.
The Sanctuary would be dark and the Congregation would sing Silent
Night. Still makes me smile and warms my heart. Nothing compares to
hearing the 3,4 and 5 year olds sing Away In A Manger…… always
brings tears. -Tovah Sellner
As a boy, I have fond memories of Christmas Eve services, sitting
by my grandma and family. Especially grandma loved singing “Oh Little
Town of Bethlehem.“ I remember seeing all the lights and looking
forward to cookies and Santa Claus later. Thank you First English for the
Christmas Eve services. -Randy Twiehoff
As you can see from these rich memories and stories, Christmas is
a special time at First English. We look forward to worshipping together throughout Advent and on Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day, to create more everlasting memories, and to share in the promise of Emmanuel,
Christ with us.First English Lutheran Church
