A Glimpse of New Life

By
Dear Friends,

Warmer temperatures, plants beginning to break through the earth, and the start of a new baseball season are all welcome signs of spring, new life, and the marvels of our Creator.  This Sunday's Gospel is also a glimpse of the Easter proclamation ahead, a reminder of Christ's powerful presence in our lives, and a poignant reminder that death does not get the final word even when it sometimes feels that way.  As I prepare for this weekend and for a Bible Study at noontime today, I invite you to read this weekend's Gospel text in advance with a few questions to think about along the way.  The Gospel is John 11:1-45 (the only text that we will focus upon this weekend)

1. Why do you think that Jesus did not go immediately to help Lazarus?
2. How would you describe the words of Thomas in this text?
3. When Mary and Martha address Jesus upon his arrival, are they using words of anger or words of faith?  Why do you think this?
4. What do you learn about Jesus from his words, actions, and reactions at the tomb?
5. Why do you think that Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead?
6.  What do you find amazing or just plain weird about this story?
7. What does this story have to say about our relationship with Jesus?
8. What does this story have to say about our role as followers of Jesus?

Looking forward to being with many of you this weekend as we gather around Word and Sacrament, prayer and song, open our eyes to Christ who walks with us in our deepest valleys, and give thanks to a Savior who will make all things new.  See you in church!

Peace,

Pastor Mueller

Salah satu tanda anda atau gejala munculnya penyakit ambeyen adalah adanya darah atau tetesan darah yang ikut keluar saat buang air besar. Ambeyen berdarah seperti ini termasuk ke dalam jenis ambeyen internal. Pada ambeyen jenis ini, meski ada pembuluh darah yang pecah dan menimbulkan pendarahan, tapi seringkali tidak disertai dengan rasa sakit sama sekali. Rasa sakit biasanya muncul pada ambeyen eksternal dimana pembengkakan pembuluh darah mengalami iritasi (lecet) sehingga terasa sakit saat bergesekan dengan kotoran (feses/ tinja) yang akan keluar. Selain rasa sakit kadang timbul juga rasa gatal akibat menempelnya kotoran pada bantalan anus yang mengalami peradangan serta iritasi tersebut.

Opportunities for Growth

By
Dear Friends,
    There are several learning opportunities coming up in week ahead that I wanted keep on your radar. - "Aslan on the Move" :  This Sunday (downstairs in Jerusalem Room)  at 9:30 AM we gather together for a presentation / discussion based on Christian themes found in the C.S. Lewis classic, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."   This gathering will continue through November 24.  Anyone from high school students to senior citizens are welcome to attend.  Join us and be enriched in faith.  - "Lunch Bunch Bible Study" - We gather each Thursday at noontime in St. Andrew's Hall to look a little deeper at the assigned bible texts that will be proclaimed the upcoming Sunday.  We provide coffee and printed out texts.  You are free to bring Bibles and a bagged lunch if you wish.  People who rarely take part in Bible Study have become a part of this group and have found it very helpful in their walk of faith.

An Easter Prayer

By
Holy and Living God, You continue to confound  our expectations and surprise us with your redeeming power in our lives.  Come among us, risen Lord.  Reveal yourself to us that we may know with confidence that nothing in all creation, not even death, can separate us from your love.  In Jesus' name.  Amen. A word of thanks to all of you who offered your hearts and hands and voices to a deeply moving Holy Week and a joy filled celebration of the Resurrection.  It was exciting to see an increase in attendance at special services throughout Lent and Holy Week this year, especially among those who are newer to our faith community. Many hearts were touched and lives were lifted up through the celebrations of this past week. We are truly blessed. Continue to pray for those who were unable to be with us on Sunday, the sick, the struggling, the hospitalized, the homebound, and the dying.  Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, especially those who …

Lord's Prayer

By
Dear Friends,

This Sunday in worship our Gospel lesson is Luke 11:1-13.  In my message, I will be focusing chiefly on this rather strange parable of Jesus.  However, this is also the text where on e of Jesus' disciples says, "Lord, teach us to pray" and Jesus introduces what would become known as the Lord's Prayer.  While this will not be a primary focus on Sunday, I thought I would share with you below a reflection by Christian writer Brian McClaren bringing fresh meaning to a prayer that has become so familiar that, unfortunately, it can become rote and uttered with little meaning or reflection.  I hope that you will find this helpful for your own time in prayer.  And who knows?  It may even show up sometime in a worship service.
A Spoken Version of the Lord’s Prayer
This rendering of the Lord’s prayer uses unfamiliar words and phrasing to help us actually hear its message rather than lapsing into an auto-pilot recitation. You can use it in public worship by having …
