Shrove Tuesday

Get your Mardi Gras beads on and help us remove the “fat” in the house the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday with our annual Shrove Tuesday dinner in the Parish Hall!  Allow Pastor Jim and others to make you a pancake dinner with all the trimmings! And it only gets better – at 6:30pm we start our talent show! If you have a lot of talent or hardly any at all, then this is the showcase for you! Sing, dance, juggle, tell jokes or dig out your harmonica – nothing is held back! Admission is free, but we ask that you pick up a ticket in either the school or church offices beginning January 19.  If you wish to be part of the talent show, please sign up on the clip board in the school office and see Pastor Tricia before Tuesday, February 9!  (We only have time for 25 four minute acts… after all, this IS a school night!)  And of course we need lots of help for the dinner as well, it you want to volunteer, see Pr. Tricia.

Pastor's Message Minimize

     The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on Feb. 17.  This is a time in our traditional church year for solemn reflection and prayer on the sacrificial death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  The word “Lent” comes from the old English word “to lengthen” since in the northern hemisphere, the days begin to lengthen as we approach spring and summer.  In this sense, Lent has become a time of spiritual renewal as all of life is renewed once again.
     As Christians our renewal comes through the saving act of our Lord.  It is helpful then for us to focus during these days on the crucified One. In order for us to do so, our processional cross takes the form of a crucifix which has a place for us Lutherans as well.
     In order to understand this change for this season of our church year, an article from the Lutheran magazine from a few years ago might be helpful.
Are crucifixes Lutheran?  The good news of the gospel is that the crucified one is risen.  But there is no Easter without Lent, no empty tomb without the crucifixion.  Martin Luther warned against using the crucifix and other images superstitiously but affirmed  “For the sake of the memorial and the witness they are praiseworthy.”
     Many Lutheran churches display crucifixes.  No single image can portray the fullness of Jesus. We need the entire message of Christ’s incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, ascension and Pentecost to proclaim a meaningful message.  Art, words, and music offer glimpses into the fathomless story of God’s love in Christ. Our sanctuaries may focus on different aspects of the story.  In fact, each worship service emphasizes a different portion of the whole story.
     The use of the crucifix during Lent is for focus on the crucified Lord at an important time in our church year.
        Yours in Christ
    Pastor Jim
