Dear Brothers and Sisters
in Christ,
Expect the unexpected… The holy week begins
with crowds rejoicing at Jesus arrival in Jerusalem. With the ancient
version of "rolling out the red carpet" they greet him with
shouts of "Hosanna!" - which literally means "save
us!"
But soon it becomes clear that Jesus is not going
to fight the Roman occupation, or even the corrupt temple leadership, in
the way that was expected. He is not going to take up arms against the
oppressors. The crowd turns against him and changes their shouts to
"Crucify him!"
The disciples watch in horror as Jesus is
arrested, tried, condemned, tortured, subjected to public humiliation, and
killed. And yet, this utter and complete destruction of Jesus, made final
with the sealing of the tomb, is not what it seems.
We reenter the sacred drama year after year. We
know what each of the players will do. We have heard it all before. The
plot twists, but like a familiar country road, we know each turn.
Yet each year the story is different, because we
are different. If we become parents, we suddenly notice Mary at the edge
of the crowd, or remember Abraham and Isaac, and our understanding becomes
deeper. When the previous year has held some tombs, literal or figurative,
and we have mourned great losses, our longing for the joy of resurrection
grows more profound. If our relationship with God has grown through
scripture study, or a more committed prayer life, the story becomes our
story in surprising new ways.
As we begin,
once again, to tell the old, old story this holy week, I pray that you
will discover the remarkable and unexpected transformational power there
can be in coming fresh to what we think we already know. After all, early
that Sunday morning, when the women went to the tomb, they knew just what
they would find… didn't they?
In Christian love,
Pastor

SERVICE
SUNDAYS
The
theme for the
Evangelical
Lutheran
Church
in
America
is “God’s Work, Our Hands!” But fitting service into
our busy lives can be a challenge. Many of us find ourselves torn
between spending time with the family and volunteering. Others
discover that many volunteer opportunities require a time commitment
that makes it hard to serve.
Service Sundays are an
opportunity once each month to put your hands to God’s work.
Service
Sunday is a monthly opportunity for people of all ages to reach out with
the love of Christ on behalf of our neighbors. No long-term or
on-going commitment is required, just one afternoon.
Each activity is a stand-alone event.
You do not need to commit to a year of service, just an hour or
two!
Feel free to bring your
family.
Service Sunday
opportunities are appropriate for all ages.
Join
us ~ You'll be glad you did!
