Faith Formation Ministry
One Family Bible Class
There are no Bible classes this Sunday as we all go to celebrate Easter with our families following church.
Stewardship Sentence
Mark 16:6 - And he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here." So Jesus is risen....but is that Good News? What if He is mad at us for betraying Him, for running away at Gethsemane, for not believing He would rise? The Good News is not just that Jesus is risen, but that He is risen to bless us: there is no need to be alarmed. He still calls us His friends and brothers and means to bring us through death to resurrection as well. The Lord is risen, He is risen indeed!
Pastor's Tuesday Morning Bible Class
The Tuesday morning Bible class that meets in Pastor's office will not meet this week.
Women's Evening Bible Study
The Thursday evening Bible study began a new study on February 18. The study guide is "God's Love Through You: A Guide to 1 John." All women are welcome; gathering together is a great opportunity to share prayer concerns and be strengthened by God's Work and by each other. Eighteen women currently are a part of this group; not all can attend every time and that is understood. We meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7:00pm.
Women's Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Beginning Tuesday, February 23 at 9:15am we started a new seven week Bible study. Please consider joining us as we explore "Discerning the Voice of God" presented by Priscilla Shirer. Through this study you will become more familiar with God's Holy Spirit, His character, language, and tone of voice. Call Carol Froesel or Jeanne Clark if you have any questions.

Worship Leaders through April
We are continuing our trial usage of Volunteer Spot. All services through April are now available as sign-up spots. The Worship Committee will still fill in any open spots from the lists of volunteers, so if you have a known conflict, selecting a spot well in advance might prevent some last-minute switching needs.
Please sign up here. If you prefer, you can call Michelle in the office to get your name on the schedule. Thank you!

 Children's Worship Materials
We are looking for someone to take charge of the children's worship materials at the back of the church. This would entail periodically checking the bags to ensure each is stocked with paper, crayons, etc. If you are interesting in serving this way, please contact the church office.

Two Twelve Cup Coffee Makers
Two new in the box coffee makers stored in the lower cabinets in the Youth room have been misplaced. If anyone knows where they may be found please inform Michelle in the church office

From the Catechisms
Table of Duties
Certain Passages of Scripture for Various Holy Orders and Positions, by Which These People Are to Be Admonished, as a Special Lesson, about Their Office and Service
For Young Persons in General
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you. (1 Peter 5:5-6)
For Widows
She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day, but she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives. (1 Timothy 5:5-6)
For All in Common
The commandments ... are summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Romans 13:9) "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people." (1 Timothy 2:1)
Let each his lesson learn with care, and all the household well shall fare.
McCain, P. T. (Ed.). (2005). Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions (p. 348-349). St. Louis, MO: Concordia Publishing House.
