Advent is a time of anticipation and reflection on the birth of Christ
The aroma of incense filled the stone and stain-glassed sanctuary of Grace Lutheran Church as worshipers filed in for the mid-week Advent service. 
As acolyte Phillip Fischaber carried a candle to the front of the church to light two candelabras, the congregation chanted, “Christ is the light of the world.”
It was a quiet service, without Christmas carols, part of an ancient tradition of setting aside the four weeks before Christmas as a time of reflection and anticipation of the coming of Christ.

Higher Things Youth Conference in Nashville, TN
From July 5-10 2010 a group of young people from Grace Lutheran, Tulsa and Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Miama travelled to Nashville to attend the Higher Things 2010 Conference “Given“:
We live in a culture of blurry religious distinctions and do-it-yourself spirituality. Youth, especially, need solid ground that will nurture lasting Christian faith. Rather than treating youth as an adolescent subculture and subjecting them to experiences that cannot be replicated at home, Higher Things believes in challenging youth to learn the pure doctrine of the Christian faith. By teaching them the same message that they hear at home, youth grow in the fullness of the Christian faith as they come to appreciate historic liturgical practice and its unique focus on God’s gifts of forgiveness, life and salvation for us delivered in Word and Sacrament.
Pastor Tiews is travelling with them and is teaching three breakaway sessions during the conference.

Walt Sabourin Appointed Deacon of Grace

Art Spomer (retired) from Broken Arrow, Pr. Ken Wade from Enid, Pr. Harold Klawitter from Trinity in Broken Arrow, and Barry Schweisow from St. John’s in Pryor who delivered the homily. |
Sunday, February 22, 2009, was a big day for Walt Sabourin. Walt donned his robe and served as Lay Assistant during the late service. That was just a warm up for what was to follow. Immediately after worship, the LWML held a potluck in Knippa Hall to honor Walt’s appointment as Deacon of Grace. Everyone was on hand to congratulate Walt …and of course, to partake of the potluck. Susan Postier, Treasurer of the LWML Evening Women of Grace, presented Walt with a check in honor of his appointment.
Then at 2:00PM, a Mid-Day Service of None was held in the sanctuary. Approximately 80
were in attendance as Walt was officially appointed a Deacon of Grace Lutheran. Various clergy were on hand to solemnize the occasion. The LWML also hosted a reception in Knippa Hall complete with cake and cookies.
Walt’s duties will include visitations, assisting with morning prayers, and continuing to preach where no minister is available.
Thanks to the LWML and to all who contributed to the meal and the reception to help make it a special day for Walt & Barbara. We also wish to thank all of those who helped with set up and clean up.

Mason Beecroft, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church.
