Meeting Jesus at the Cross – and Beyond During the five weeks of Lent we have diligently continued our vigil of repentance and prayer, following Jesus all the way to the cross and grave, until at last, at long last, we break into joyful celebration and song, surrounded by banks of fragrant lilies on Easter morning. Henri Nouwen, a great spiritual writer, once wrote about Easter saying that even in the season of hope there can still be painful awareness of sinfulness as well as fear, but there is also light breaking through. Something new is happening. Nouwen felt that Easter brings the awareness that God is active even when his presence is not directly noticed. Once again we hear the good news that the stone has been rolled away, rolled away for our benefit. Not so Jesus exits the tomb, Jesus has already risen by the time Mary and the disciples arrive. No, the stone is rolled away so we can see that the tomb is empty. Jesus is no longer there. He is risen from the dead, ALLELUIA! Jesus didn’t rise from the dead to let his oppressors know that he was more powerful than they are. Jesus rose as a sign to those who loved him and followed him, that God’s divine love is stronger than death. Jesus overcame death and the grave. But that is not the end of the story!! Easter – a time when we celebrate with lively hymns of joy and shouts of Alleluia! Christ is risen, he is risen indeed – Alleluia is just the beginning. It is a season of joyous thanksgiving for all God has done for us, and the new life we have because of his sacrificial love for us. Easter announces the news that evil has ultimately been overcome by good. Something new is happening. We see new life all about us at Easter – budding trees and blooming flowers, but most of all we are once again reminded there is nothing, not even death, that can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior – ALLELUIA! Peace & Easter Joy! Pastor Chris

Update-Senior Pastor Call Process
The Call committee is meeting every week reviewing candidate profiles and interviewing candidates. We have narrowed our list to a few final Pastors we interviewed. We hope and pray that God makes his guidance clear and leads us to one of these candidates. So far, the committee has: Reviewed 40 candidate profiles Considered 20 candidates for telephone or video
conversations Removed 8 candidates because they are in discussion
with other congregations. Had telephone or video conversations with 9
candidates as a committee. Removed 4 candidates after initial discussions with
them. Had one decline to be considered after video
conversation. Had 3 video conversations with new candidates in
March. Have 4 under consideration after initial conversations
and one “in-person” interview.
Please pray with us for the Lord to guide us in our mission to find and call the right Pastor to lead our congregation. We have confidence and faith than He will. God's Peace, First English Call Committee.

CALL TO SPECIAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING
Notice is given of a Special Congregational meeting to take place on Sunday, April 19, 2015, immediately following the 11:00 a.m. worship.
All voting members are encouraged to attend!
The only item on the agenda for this meeting is the following Motion from Church Council: “That the Call to Rev. Christina Veres, as Associate Pastor of First English,
be extended to May 31, 2016.”

….from Pastor Krister….
Some notes on the worship guide (bulletin) You may have noticed some changes in the worship guide (bulletin) in the last few weeks. For the people coming to the early service (9:30 am) the changes have not been as large as for the late service (11:00). It is still a work in progress but we are slowly getting there. Why these changes? A goal for the congregation that is expressed again and again is to draw new people into worship. The hymnbook we have is not very user friendly for visitors (and sometimes not for members either) so we are doing these changes to make it easier for visitors and members to participate in worship. What has happened? For one thing the font and font size has changed to make it easier to read.
The second thing to note is that all the announcements you are used to receiving on several separate sheets are now part of the booklet you re-ceive. You will also find an introduction to the day and to each reading in this section. 11:00 worship service changes. The entire worship service (liturgy) is now printed in your bulletin, including the music for the musical parts. No more flipping back and forth to find what is in the hymnbook and what is in the bulletin. You will only need the hymnbook to sing the hymns. During the Season of Lent we introduce the Service of the Word for the non-communion worship. Beginning April 19 (3rd Sunday of Easter) we will introduce a new Communion worship setting – Setting I. The order of this service is identical to what we are used to – but the music will be a little different.
No Applause, Please
Have you ever heard the expression, faith is “caught”, more than it’s “taught”? The best way for children and youth to know what faith is all about is to be part of the community that laughs together, cries together, eats together, and worships together – a community that lives and shares its faith with all. When a child is baptized, we promise to be active in nurturing their faith. And we are also nurtured in our own faith by their presence, trust, and fresh points of view. Worship is one of the basic ways in which people are formed in their faith, and children and youth learn to worship by worshipping. This is very important - we all know that children and youth learn best by doing. As we all come to worship and offer our gifts, be it as a person in the pew, usher, greeter, custodian, choir member, acolyte, preacher, organist, etc., so do children and youth when they have an opportunity to share faith and their gift in worship. One example of this is the children’s choir and youth bell choir. It is important to remember that their participation in worship is not a performance - it is part of worship for all of us, led by our children and youth. Therefore we ask that you refrain from applauding after they have sung or played. There will be lots of time after the service to express your appreciation in person as you speak with the children and youth. We want them to learn to worship, and to learn to assist in leading worship. The same holds true for the adult choir, btw. Take the time to thank members individually for sharing their gift of music, but applause really has no place in worship, as it is not a performance. The exception to that note is the postlude played by the organist. Take a moment and sit and listen to the music and then it is appropriate to offer thanks for the music with applause.
THANK YOU!!!! We would like to take the opportunity to give our heartfelt THANK YOU to the people of First English for the well wishes and support offered us as we announced our engagement. We feel very blessed by your words of congratulations.
Pr. Krister Ulmanis & Lela Creighton

WOMEN’S CIRCLE BIBLE STUDY
The topics of our Women’s Circle Bible studies for this

Hope Circle does not meet during
Lent. The focus for the next meeting May 6th will be the story of the suffering and endurance of Job. Grace Circle will be studying the book of 1 Peter at their next meeting on March 23rd. Peace Circle con-tinues in their study of the book “Bad Girls of the Bible” by Liz Curtis Higgs. All women of First English are encouraged to participate in the learning, service and fellowship

9:30a.m. ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his “95 Theses” to the church door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg Germany. Historians have assigned this event as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Thus in 2017 we will celebrate the 500 Anniversary of the Reformation. Our Presiding Bishop, Elizabeth Eaton, has suggested that, as we look forward to that celebration, we study Luther’s Small Catechism. She points out that “it could be argued that no other experience is more universally Lutheran than studying Luther’s Small Catechism.”
So, our Adult Sunday School Class for this fall will be an overview of Luther’s Small Catechism. Not only will this give us an opportunity to celebrate our Lutheran Heritage, but Luther’s Catechism is also an excellent review of the basics of the Christian Faith!
We have a nice size group on Sunday mornings, but we would love to have YOU join us as well. Our sessions meet during the Sunday School Hour, 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. in the Lounge.
Thursday morning Bible Study.
We will begin a new topic on April 8th. Please join us!!!

BOARD OF SOCIAL ACTION Pantry You’ve heard the expression “back to basics.” This time we’re talking food. Each month we’ll ask members to donate another “basic” to restock our pantry. April is everything month. We depleted our stock during the Christmas season. Please consider buying one or two items for our shelves. Obviously if you find a great deal for pantry basics, bring ‘em in. There’s always room for more! Please be mindful of expiration dates on all food items. Unfortunately we have had to remove items from the pantry because of expired dates. Thank you for your help! Pantry Windfall In case you haven’t peeked into our pantry lately, our shelves are no longer bare thanks to Dillon Energy Services. Patty Groezinger saw how our food supply dwindled at Christmas and mentioned her firm would like to donate some basics after the holidays. We expected a bag or two, not boxes and boxes of groceries! Everything from mac and cheese and canned fruit and vegetables to brownie and muffin mixes and frosting, you name it. See Patty’s note on the bulletin board thanking us for our support to the community. Really, it’s the other way around! Pantry angels appear out of nowhere. Nearly every Sunday, someone drops a bag at the door. Thank you Dillon Energy Services and FELC members for your generous hearts!
Immanuel Giving Tree Thank You You’ve heard about Christmas in July, well, the Johnson family sent us a heartfelt Christmas card thank you in March. It reads:
“I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is not only a dear blessing to my family, but it was a needed display of God’s love for us and his ability to abundantly meet all my needs and my desires as they align with his will for me. Please know that I am working very hard to get into dental school. I am determined to get financially free so that I may be a blessing to others. Merry Christmas and much love from the Johnsons.” (Nice handwriting, too. See her card on the bulletin board.) Board of Social Action

Keep an eye out for our volunteer sign-up station!
Children’s Offerings for LWR Our children have offered up over $140 so far this year, which is enough to donate a goat and chickens. For
farmers in the Philippines, a hen and chicks means eggs to eat, eggs to sell and chicks to grow a flock. Em-power them and give the gift that keeps on giving: independence, sus-tainability and success. Please keep the donations coming and check out the progress thermometer, across from the office, to learn more.
What We’re Learning This Month Preschool through fifth grade are finishing up their lesson on Holy Week & Easter. After break, they will learn about one of Jesus’ most famous parables in “The Sower.” Come learn what happens when we share the Good News with others!
After Easter, Middle School will learn about “End Times” which can be a confusing but extremely interest-ing topic. We’d love to hear your thoughts on it, so please join us!
Remember, there is NO Sunday School on Easter (April 5th).
Parents of Small Children Group Attention all parents of small children! We are meeting bi-monthly for
fellowship and fun! If you're interested in joining us, contact Randie Kohler at: randie.kohler@gmail.com or (734) 546-0900.

Accepting enrollment for 3 & 4 year olds for September 2015
First English Lutheran Preschool offers an academic program to help prepare your child for kindergarten. With a small class size, our program includes Bible lessons, math, music, science, art, language, beginning reading concepts and physical development. We have a very large and bright classroom for your child to spend their morning socializing with friends.
The month of April brings learning about Easter and spring to the pre-school classroom. This month the children will learn about the events of Holy Week, have some time off from school during the Easter break week
and plant bean seeds when school resumes. One of our letters of the week in April is Y and we’ll learn a little yoga and when we’re working with the letter C we’ll have a campsite set up in the classroom which is always a hit with the children. Mrs. Jackson and I will attend an early childhood conference at the end of the month where we’ll learn new ideas/methods to bring back to the classroom. Continue to watch the hallway outside our classroom as we share photos and spring projects with those who pass by! Remember to watch our hallway as we share photos and projects with you!
Please contact Christine Simone if you, or a friend, is seeking a preschool. Call Christine at (313)655-7367 or e-mail at mrssimone@comcast.net to arrange a classroom visit.
