CHRISTMAS AT HOME.
Call to Worship (Read responsively, led by head of family) Come ... to the stable where God will meet us Come ... to the manger where Jesus is born. Come ... for our Savior calls us by name. *R/ I, , will come with happiness and boy. *This line will be said in order by each member of the family, using his own first name. The Name Above All Names (The head of the family or someone whom he or she appoints will serve as the leader. If children are present, invite them to say their names in turn and talk about what they mean. What is their favorite name? Do they like this name for its sound, or because it belongs to somebody they like personally?) Jesus has many names in the Bible. In bib-lical times, as with our American Indians, names had special meanings. If we look at some names Jesus has been given, we will understand better who he is. (The names of Jesus should be cut out be-fore the family devotions begin, The leader will take the cut out names and place all except JESUS face down on the table.) The name by which t‘e know him best is Jesus. Jesus means "God shall save us from our sins.'' More than anN nth( r name, this tells us why we are all here this Christmas to honor his birth. (The head of the family will place his JESUS name card to begin a star design as shown on the front co% er. Then he shall invite other mem-bers of the family, in turn, to take one of the cards, turn it over, and read the name. The reader will then say what that name means to him. When he is finished, the reader will place his card in the design.) We will see how some of these names were used, telling about Jesus' birth. Scripture (Read by members of the family)

ABOUT THE PASTOR John H.P. Reumann, ELCA Pastor, Professor, Scholar, Ecumenist
CHICAGO : The Rev. John H.P. Reumann was a NewTestament professor with an encyclopedic knowledge of the Bible,and whose significant influence ranged from the seminary classroom to national and international ecumenical and interfaithcircles Reumann, the Ministerium of Pennsylvania Professor Emeritusof New Testament and Greek at The Lutheran Theological Seminaryat Philadelphia (LTSP), enjoyed a 45-year teaching career beforeretiring in 1996. During his career, he was also dean and actingpresident of LTSP, and was a visiting lecturer at severalcolleges, universities and seminaries. Reumann also influencedthe church in several areas of interest, including life-of-Jesusresearch and Christian origins, especially the theology of theapostle Paul, ecumenism and Lutheran-Roman Catholic dialogues.LTSP is one of eight ELCA seminaries. For more than 30 years, Reumann was influential in theLutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogues, which included his role inshaping the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification,signed in Augsburg, Germany, in 1999. Reumann did considerablewriting in connection with the declaration, and his knowledge ofEnglish and German did much to advance the discussions. Born in 1927 in Easton, Pa., Reumann spent his formativeyears in Lansdale. After earning a bachelor's degree in 1947 fromMuhlenberg College, Allentown, Pa., he graduated from LTSP in1950 and was ordained by the United Lutheran Church in America.He earned a master of arts degree in the classics from theUniversity of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, in 1950, and a masterof sacred theology degree from LTSP in 1951. In 1957 he earned adoctorate in classics and Semitic studies from the University ofPennsylvania. Muhlenberg College is one of 28 ELCA colleges anduniversities. Reumann was a Guggenheim Fellow from 1965 to 1966, served onthe studies committee for Lutheran World Ministries (U.S.A.National Committee of the Lutheran World Federation) from 1965 to1987, was part of the Lutheran-Jewish Conversation in the U.S.A.from 1969 to 1978, and served on the Commission for a NewLutheran Church from 1982 to 1986, which led to the formation ofthe ELCA. He served twice on the board of trustees for MuhlenbergCollege. Reumann chaired the Task Force for the ELCA Study ofMinistry from 1988 to 1993, and he participated 11 times as avoting member of ELCA churchwide assemblies and those of apredecessor church body, the Lutheran Church in America. "John Reumann was truly a 'teacher of the church'," said theRev. Mark S. Hanson, ELCA presiding bishop. "Some church bodiesidentify an office of 'teacher of the church' within theirpolity. The ELCA does not have such a defined office, but if thatwere the case, certainly Dr. Reumann would have occupied it. Heprovided significant theological leadership in deliberations ofthe LCA and later the ELCA. The recommendations of the Study ofMinistry that he chaired were submitted to the 1993 churchwideassembly and largely affirmed." Hanson noted that Reumann had been the sole survivingoriginal member of the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogue whichbegan in 1965, and that Reumann had served on the RevisionCommittee for the New American Bible, New Testament (U.S. RomanCatholic Bible) from 1978 to 1987. "Witnessing Dr. Reumann's contributions to the dialoguealways was memorable," said the Rev. Lowell G. Almen, Lutheranco-chair of the U.S. Lutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogue and formerELCA secretary. "He would offer key biblical insights, quoting by chapterand verse from memory a relevant passage in English and oftenalso in Greek. His commitment to fruitful ecumenical dialogueseemed unbounded. That was true even in these past few years ofstruggles with his health. The 43 years of the U.S. Lutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogue have resulted in significant documents.That is so in no small measure because of Dr. Reumann'sdedication," Almen wrote in a tribute to be delivered atReumann's funeral. The Rev. Donald J. McCoid, executive, ELCA Ecumenical andInter-Religious Relations, said he first met Reumann more than 40years ago when he was McCoid's New Testament theology professor."Whenever he spoke, I listened carefully, whether it was in aclassroom, at a meeting or at a churchwide assembly. His insightswere direct, helpful, challenging and faithful. John Reumann wasan exceptional teacher, scholar, leader, ecumenist, writer andfriend. He left us with a treasury of contributions that willcontinue to bless us in the future. I join Lutherans, Christiansand people of other faith traditions in celebrating the life ofDr. John Reumann and thanking God for the many ways that heshared his many gifts with us." "Dr. Reumann was a model in every respect for many of us whohave followed him at the seminary and in the Church," said PhilipD. W. Krey, LTSP president. "He mentored us graciously with faithand patience and retired well. In retirement he continued towork on his scholarly and ecumenical projects and remainedunflagging in his support and as an advisor. We will miss agiant in the faith." Before his health declined, Reumann had turned in to hispublisher at Yale University Press his voluminous commentary onPhilippians, a focal point of his biblical scholarship. His finaledition ran 832 pages. In addition to authoring the Philippianscommentary, Reumann wrote at least 15 books, including "Jesus inthe Church's Gospels" (Fortress Press, 1968) and edited orcontributed to dozens of books and articles. He served asassociate editor of the Journal of Biblical Literature, 1961-69,and as its editor in 1970. The Lutheran Archives Center at Philadelphia recentlyreceived a $5,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Historical andMuseum Commission/Bureau for Historic Preservation to "employ aproject archivist to arrange, describe and create finding aidsfor the personal papers of John H.P. Reumann, a Pennsylvaniatheologian and scholar of international renown." Reumann traveled widely to Europe, the Mediterranean and theMiddle East, an interest nurtured by his parents, who took him oninternational trips as a young boy.
