January 2024
Welcoming all to Worship, Grow, and Serve in God’s Grace.
Pastor’s Corner
A message from Pastor Horacio
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father
and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
What does this mean for us?
This question is repeated in
Martin Luther’s Small Catechism
at every turn as it guides us to
a deeper understanding of our
God in word and sacrament for
us. The catechism serves as the
cliff notes to understand scripture
and to deliver us Jesus Christ as
our promise. The catechism has
been and will continue to be our
textbook for adult education and
confirmation as it is a mine that
continues to yield gems.
Many of you enjoyed our
Children’s Christmas Program
on December 17th, in which they
lead us through the symbolic
meaning behind some of the
common symbols of Christmas.
We have so many traditions that
are perpetuated without always
understanding why they began or
are continued. The symbols and
their meaning that the kids read
will be shared in this newsletter
for those who had asked to see
them.
There are many other areas
of life both in church and out
in the world in which we find
ourselves asking “What does
this mean?”
What does this mean is a
question that also comes us
when we consider worship
and music at Creator Lutheran
Church. We have had a year of
exploring new ways to combine

voices, piano and instruments
into our congregational song. We
had the joy of hearing our choir
sing again twice December and
can anticipate another anthem
on Epiphany Sunday.
New
songs and familiar songs have
been included in our worship
services. During 2024, we will
be answering what does this
mean for worship and our faith
during adult education. Once a
season, you are invited to gather
between services to practice
some of the songs of the season
so that we can be more familiar
with them. We will also learn
why some songs were chosen
or were not chosen – what their
lyrics mean for our faith.
Throughout our lives together
and in the year to come here at
Creator, this question “What
does this mean?” will be ever
before us. What does it mean
to worship? What does it mean
to pray? What does it mean to
forgive, to lament, to praise?
What does it mean to include
our children in worship and
learning? What does it mean
for us as we age? What does
retirement mean? What does
volunteering mean? What does
it mean to live a life of faith in a
world that seems to have either
no meaning or contradictory
meanings?
The questions will never
cease while we live. We as
Creator, can ask these questions
and many times in scripture,
in Christ, in worship and in our
Ministry
learning together we will answer
a question or two and add three
of four to our lists. When we
don’t have answers, we will be
reminded that Christ is with us,
that Christ is for us. We will learn
to depend on God’s Word and
grow in dependence to Jesus
Christ rather than moving away
from what does this mean into a
false reality of I understand it all
and have it all figured out.
In 2024, I pray that your
questions lead you into deeper
trust and dependence in Christ.
Christ, who is our peace, be
with you in the year to come!

Castillo

Fellowship
Thoughts on
Our church has a vision
for our community and our
congregation. It is a bold vision.
One at odds with the world around
us. One that will require funding.
Yet we believe in this vision—we
believe in it so strongly that it
passed unanimously last month
at the congregational meeting.
We Stewardship want like to
make sure that all members are
informed and understand the
heart and soul of this vision.
This image above is a
summary of our church budget
line items provided by the finance
team, put into Categories. We
have a category for the building,
benevolence, Pastoral staff, and
ministry. This should hopefully
look very familiar. It’s the way
we normally present the budget.
But What if we present our
budget a little differently? How
are the dollars that you give
to creator Lutheran Church,
whether by QR code, the website,
Zelle, or old-school check,
4
impacting our congregation and
the community around us? To
explore that, we chose 5 areas of
mission & ministry, that represent
Creator’s priorities and mission
in our congregation and our
community. The pie chart below
shows how your dollar goes to
work in each of these areas.
Service and Outreach in
Action: In 2023 around 23 %
of our funds, either directly, or
indirectly, went to Service and
Outreach! As an example, this
translates into 850 Backpacks in
2023 for kids that might not have
enough to eat on the weekends.
It’s providing a place for Girls
Scouts and Beyond Human
Aid to meet, plus, we support

a Preschool at below market
rates at a time when daycare is
simply too expensive for many.
It’s getting our youth group to
Kentucky to serve and learn.
It’s families serving at Peace
Community center. It’s the Easter
egg hunt and the Fall Festival,
showing our neighborhood that
we really are a welcoming place.
Learning and Growing in
the World: Our Pastors have
close to 35 years combined
experience—that experience
brings us approachable yet
powerful adult ed and bible
study programs. A new member
recently said: “I found the adult
ed to be really meaningful—
and I grew up with a Christian
background”. It’s Bible study,
in an environment where it’s ok
to ask the hard questions: “Am
I really forgiven?” “I honestly
don’t get the trinity.” “Why do we
take communion every week?”
Pastoral and Community
care: Our pastors have years of
experience in a rural Guatemalan
church. Our pastors have seen
and lived in oppression and
hardship that many of us can
only imagine. But we believe
they have also seen Christ’s
presence in those moments.
They bring that experience and
wisdom with them as they walk
alongside us. It’s a listening
ear. It’s the Creator Cares team.
It’s a member offering a ride to
church. It’s a prayer at the altar.
It’s a women’s retreat on grief.
It’s a call to the pastor on their
day off when you are struggling.
(and yes, they want you to call
them when you are struggling,
even if it is on their day off!)
Word and Sacrament: In a
world where we are constantly
judged, and are never good
enough, our pastors remind us,
by sharing the gospel, that we
are beloved children of God,
accepted forgiven by grace and
loved as we are. I believe we
are yearning for that reminder,
Fellowship
and that we are not alone in that
dark place. The need for grace in
community is revealed in 30 new
members in 2023. 8 baptisms
in 2023. Over 1400 views on
the U-tube channel so far this
year! We believe that is people,
perhaps in the wilderness,
and perhaps without hope,
responding to hearing the Word,
spoken by a Preacher. Spoken
by our Preachers. It is here
that we learn, again, that we are
a forgiven, beloved, accepted
people. Thanks be to God!
Fellowship & Family: There
are so many things that can
divide us. Yet it is here that
we are reminded that our bond
to Christ is stronger than any
secular tribal affiliation. Here
our leadership has created a
safe place for us to connect,
to laugh, to cry, and to support
one another. It’s Bunko night.
The Fall festival. Foam hats.
Slime games. Making mistakes
together. A coffee shared.
This is our Mission and
ministry. This is also our
spending plan. They are one
and the same.
Executing this vision will
require a significant increase
in our collective giving here at
Creator.
But we believe it is meaningful
work,
we believe it is Christ’s work,
we believe it is worth it,
we believe that together, we
can do it.
Please consider Creator
Lutheran in your 2024 giving
plan.

Fellowship
Church Council Highlights
The council opened in
prayer, both prayers of thanks
and prayers for God’s blessings
on those people who are dealing
with losses this past year.
Pastor Horacio read from
Hebrews 11-3. He noted that we
are here by the grace of God
and it is God alone who sustains
us. Through Christ, God makes
visible what is invisible.
New Business
There was a discussion
about reviewing the contract for
the fire suppression system.
More research is needed and
it will be forthcoming.
The thermostat on the
hot water tank is going to be
checked to verify that it is set
in accordance with standard
practices.
There was a discussion
about the membership rolls and
there will be a review of the
roll to determine an accurate
accounting of the membership.
The Council adjourned with
the Lord’s Prayer.

January 2024
Dear Parents,
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a vacation filled
with love, family and much joy. We were blessed with all the above
and with a renewed hope for the coming year.
We would like to thank our families for the toys that were donated.
This was a great way to show our children how we care for others
who are not as fortunate as ourselves. These toys were distributed
to local families in the Bonney Lake area. Also, a special thank you
to our parents who were able to volunteer for our Christmas party.
It was so much fun!
January will include many fun topics for study. We will learn
about dinosaurs and wintertime. We will celebrate diversity in our
country and abroad by learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. and
discovering the country of Australia. Our families are invited to
celebrate Australia with the children during the last 20 minutes of
class on January 25th and 26th.
The winter season and the colors gray and white are natural for
January as is snow. We will see what the month brings! Remember
to check the school closures for Sumner School District on TV or go
to flashalert.net , then Sumner School District.
We will study the letters R,r, S,s, U,u, and D,d. Our shape is
the rectangle and the numbers are 5 for the three year olds and 8,
9, and 10 for the four/five year olds. Our holiday during January is
Martin Luther King’s birthday on January 15th. It will only affect our
Monday-Friday class.
Hopefully, everyone planning to be with us next year has already
told (Andrea), Mrs. D, which class they want their child in. Please
e-mail immediately to markandrea222@gmail.com if you still need
to choose a class. Our classes are starting to fill up. Beginning
January 10th, registration will be open to the public. Visit our
website for class descriptions and cost. https://creatorlutheran.net/

Thank you all for your loyal support. Because of you, we do not
have, nor need an advertising budget. Creator Preschool has been
so blessed over the years to play a small part in the lives of so many
wonderful families.
Happy New Year and God Bless You All!

12 SYMBOLS OF CHRISTMAS
Continued from pg. 4
(Tree): An evergreen tree
has a very appropriate name. It
is ever green – always green.
It does not become dormant in
the winter as other trees do. The
color green represents new life
and the needles of the evergreen
always point up – heavenward.
It symbolizes our everlasting life
with Jesus Christ. We should be
as the evergreen tree – always
full of life, never becoming
dormant in our life with Christ as
our arms are lifted heavenward.
“The bread of God is the One
who comes down from heaven.
He gives life to the world.” John
6:33
(Ornaments): Ornaments
are used to decorate Christmas
trees each and every year.
People look for the perfect
ones to fit on their tree. Our
Christmas tree just would seem
complete without our ornaments.
Ornaments can symbolize
the blessings in our lives. Our
lives just wouldn’t be complete
without God’s blessings.
Everything that we have is due
to God loving us so much that
He wants to shower us with His
blessings. Just as ornaments
are all different shapes and
sizes, blessings are all different
as well. God picks and chooses
each blessing for us so that it will
be just right. The next time you
decorate your tree, and as you
put up each ornament, think of
a blessing that God has given
you. I think you’ll find that you’ll
run out of ornaments before you
can run out of blessings! “Every
man shall give as he is able,
according to the blessing of the
LORD your God that He has
given you.” Deuteronomy 16:17
(Lights & Candles): Lights
and candles are used to give
light. When a room is full of
darkness, it is dark. But, if you
light a single match in a dark
room, the room is light. There
may be more darkness, but the
light overpowers it. We are that
light. We can be the single light
in a world of darkness. We must
share our light with the world so
that the light increases. “You are
the light of the world. A city set
on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor
do people light a lamp and put it
under a basket, but on a stand,
and it gives light to all in the
house.” Matthew 5:14-15
(Bell): The bell rings out to
guide the lost sheep back to
the fold, signifying that all are
precious in the eyes of the Lord.
Jesus is our shepherd and He
laid down His life for us so that
we may spend eternity with Him
in heaven. He is calling us to
follow Him through His Word.
Are you going to listen? “If a man
has a hundred sheep, and one
of them has gone astray, does
he not leaven the ninety-nine on
the mountains and go in search
of the one that went astray?”
Matthew 18:12 “I am the good
shepherd. The good shepherd
lays down his life for the sheep.”
John 10:11
(Candy Cane): The Candy
Cane symbolizes multiple
things. If you hold it upright…
it looks like a shepherd’s crook.
The shepherds were some of the
few people who were able to see
the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. If
you turn the candy cane upside
down…it looks like a “J”. Jesus
starts with the letter “J”. The
colors of the candy cane are also
symbolic. The red represents
the blood that Jesus shed for
us on the cross and the white
represents the purity of Jesus.
There are candy canes with three
small red stripes running around
it. These stripes symbolize the
Trinity – God the Father, Son,
and the Holy Spirit. Who knew
that this delicious simple candy
was so profoundly symbolic of
our Lord Jesus Christ and His
simple birth? “And she will bring
forth a Son, and you shall call
His name JESUS, for He will
save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21
(Star): The star is a heavenly
sign of prophecy fulfilled ages
ago, the shining hope for all
mankind. The star led the wise
men to find the baby Jesus.
These wise men traveled many
miles following a star in the sky.
The star was their “guiding light”
to the Savior. God was the wise
men’s travel agent, in sorts,
leading them to the greatest
destination known to man – the
Savior. We now have His Word
as our “guiding light” to lead us
to be with Him in heaven. Are
you going to follow Him? “And
behold, the star which they had
seen in the East went before

them, till it came and stood over
where the young Child was.
When they saw the star, they
rejoiced with exceedingly great
joy.” Matthew 2:9b-10
(Angel): Imagine…you are a
lowly shepherd, watching over
your sheep. This night seems
no different than any other. Then
all of a sudden an angel of the
Lord is in the sky above you…
telling you of the Savior’s birth.
You, a shepherd? Why did God
send an angel to tell shepherds?
Because the message that God
had about the birth of Jesus
was for all people! Not just for
the right, not just for the Jew…
EVERYONE! God chose His
#1 messenger to tell the lowest
of people (in the world’s eyes)
of His Son’s birth! God looks at
the heart – not what the world
looks at – thank goodness!
“And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone ‘round about
them: and they were so afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto
you is born this day in the city of
David, a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord.” Luke 2:9-11
(Holly): We see holly as
decorations during the Christmas
season. But do we really
understand what holly stands for?
The leaves represent the crown
of thorns that were placed upon
Jesus’ head as He was being
crucified. The berries symbolize
the blood that He shed for us. He
endured criticism, excruciating
pain, and embarrassment…
all for you and I. The next time
you see a decoration with holly
on it, remember what was done
for you so that He could spend
eternity with you. I know that
I will. “And twisting together a
crown of thorns, they put it on
His head and put a reed in His
right hand. And kneeling before
Him, they mocked Him, saying,
“Hail, King of the Jews!” Matthew
27:29
(Wreath): The wreath has
its evergreen branches bent in
a circle so that the ends touch,
having no beginning or end, just
as there is no beginning or end
of Jesus’ eternal love for us. Just
as the wreath looks the same
throughout and seems to not
change, so He will always be
the same. “Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday and today and
forever.” Hebrews 13:8
(Presents): These days, the
world has forgotten the reason for
Christmas. Most people seem to
think that getting presents is the
greatest thing about Christmas.
Other people seem to think that
presents have nothing to do with
Christmas. Well, they are both
wrong. The wise men came to
visit Jesus as a young child and
gave Him presents. They gave
His gold, frankincense, and
myrrh. They offered Him gold,
as a king, paying Him tribute;
frankincense, as God, for they
honored God with the smoke of
incense; and myrrh, as a man
that should die, for myrrh was
used in embalming dead bodies.
These men…these wise men…
saw this child and knew that
He is a king, is God, and that
He would die for the sins of the
News and Education
world. How can anyone, with the
knowledge that we have now, not
believe? “The Wise Men went to
the house. There they saw the
child with His mother Mary. They
bowed down and worshiped
Him. Then they opened their
treasures. They gave Him gold,
incense, and myrrh.” Matthew
2:11
(Ribbons/Bows): Many
people spend hours wrapping all
of their presents during Christmas
time. They use ribbons, garland,
and bows to make sure that
their presents are as beautiful
as possible. What they don’t
realize is that the items that they
use to complete the outside of
the gift have more meaning than
the actually gift inside. The bow
ties our present with a beautiful
ribbon, just as Jesus ties us as
Christians together in His love.
We may not be in the same
family, but we are all in the family
of God. Jesus is the ribbon that
binds us together. “And above all
these put on love, which binds
everything together in perfect
harmony.” Colossians 3:14
(Cookies): Making cookies
is a favorite pastime for most
families during the Christmas
season. Cookie cutters are used
to turn ordinary dough into edible
masterpieces. God doesn’t use
cookie cutters when He creates
each one of us. He makes every
one of us so special and unique
that He would have to break the
mold after just one use. He is the
potter and we are His clay. He
molds us into His masterpieces.
“Behold, like the clay in the
potter’s hand, so are you in
my hand, O house of Israel.”
Jeremiah 18:6
