Thank YouI wasn’t sure what to expect as I made my way down the steps to the lower level of Mt. Hope Lutheran Church, but the laughter bouncing up the stairwell told me I was in the right place.

This was my first time participating with the Corner House in the annual Chili Cook-Off event and all I knew is that I had stayed up until midnight the night before icing (then re-icing) cupcakes that were supposed to resemble Olympic torches.

As I rounded the corner, Tom and Linda were already sitting at the ticket table, ready with their welcoming smiles. In the main hall, Seth was putting the finishing touches on the sparkling centerpieces, and Russell was greeting LCM alumni with hugs and laughter. I felt at home, even though I had never been there before.

That same feeling, along with a few new batches of chili, includ-ing a fun “adventure” chili, awaited the students of the Corner House the following Thursday on a cold snowy night.

The stress and bustle of the day melted into prayer, music, and laughter around the dinner table. That is truly the beauty of what Lake Park Lutheran provides to students at the Corner House-- in the form of chili and beyond!

We truly appreciate the ministry you provide that keeps both our hearts and our bellies full!

So to all at Lake Park for your continued time, energy, financial and spiritual support, I want to say thank you on behalf of the Corner House.

Men’s RetreatThe Men’s Retreat Date has MOVED to Friday, April 6th! Put it on your calendars. Make the Change. Get ready to eat!

We meet at the Tree of Life Retreat Center near Plymouth, WI for a ONE NIGHT extravaganza. David Diamond is again providing a roaster and this year, in celebration of Easter, we are roasting LAMB! We’ll also have roasted peppers, onion, and lots of garlic! Join us for a true Easter Celebra-tion Greek Style. We’ll start the roasting at 1pm on Friday and have discussions and games around the fire. We’ll then move to a larger meal around 7:00 pm followed by an evening conversation. Saturday morning Dennis is making Brunch and then we are free to explore the hiking, mountain biking, or just relaxing in the beautiful Northern Kettle Morraine Forest. Cost for the evening is $50, plus whatever food or drink contribution you decide to bring.

Our focus is a grand evening of true sabbath, retreat, and Easter Celebration.

Why do we call it Holy Communion?

What’s the difference using wafers or bread?

Where is God in Holy Communion?

All these questions and more will be discussed this month as we prepare children for their first communion. Our instruction will take place at two times.

• Wednesday, March 21st at 5:00 p.m or 7:00 p.m.

• Thursday, March 22nd 5:00 p.m.

We will meet with the kids on their own and walk through the meaning and practice of Holy Communion. We will take them on a tour of the sacristy and show them the significance and meaning of all the parts of communion preparation. We will then explore the biblical and some of the historical foundations of the sacrament.

All who participate in either session will be invited to Maundy Thursday, March 29th at 7:00 p.m. This is the perfect night for communion as we celebrate the eve of Christ’s Last Supper. There will be a special celebration in the service for the children and a small reception after the service. Please plan on your entire family attending this special service.

Please R.S.V.P. to the church office if you are interested in attend-ing the communion instruction classes (414-962-9190 or office@lakeparklutheran.com). If your child has already been taking communion but has not yet participated in an instruction class, please have them attend. I look forward to sharing with you the blessings of this gift of God.

Peace, Pastor David

Intentionally Broken That We May Be Made WholeBy Pastoral Intern Adam Moreno

A few weeks ago, I completed a week-long intensive course on the Gettysburg campus of my seminary, United Lutheran. The course was The Worshiping Community, and covered the liturgy of a traditional Lutheran service. We explored the order of worship, the history behind Lutheran rituals, the power of music selection, and the dif-ferent perspectives around the sacraments. In one of our discussions, I was introduced to a new understanding of communion.

When serving the bread/body of the Eucharist, I always say “The body of Christ broken for you,” rather than “given for you.” I think it is a carry-over from my LCMS days, but I like the reminder in the meal that Christ suffered for us, his body was broken and his blood was shed FOR us. The only trouble with this theology is that Christ’s body was NOT broken.

When coming to his crucified body, instead of breaking his legs like the other “criminals,” the soldiers, seeing that that he was already dead, pierced his side. “These things occurred so that the scripture might be fulfilled, ‘None of his bones shall be broken’” (John 19:36). His body was pierced, but not broken. Even though I knew this aspect of the crucifixion narrative, I never connected it with the words I speak at communion.

So where does this broken language come from? This is not a brokenness of our sinful nature, but rather an intentional grace-filled brokenness for the purpose of distribution. In the Words of Institution, the presider says that Jesus took the bread, broke it and gave it to those gathered saying…“this is my body given for you.”

The bread is broken, and the body which is “in, with, and under” the bread IS also intentionally broken in the meal, not in remembrance of Christ crucified, but in the grace of Christ resurrected.

The bread is given and shared with all. In the complete giving of himself, Jesus invites us to be one with his resurrected body. This body is intentionally broken in the meal, distributed to the members of the body that we may be restored, made whole, united as the body of Christ, the holy Church.

At the end of the service, those gathered as the body of Christ, receive a blessing and depart in peace. This is an addition to my new understanding that I love, the congregation, the body of Christ is sent out from this community of faith to a world in need. We, as the body, are intentionally broken, like the bread, and shared with the world. We go out, broken so that the body of all creation may be restored, made whole in Christ that is “in, with, and under” us all, the whole body of the resurrected Christ revealed in each sacred broken piece.

“The body of Christ broken for you...that together we may be the body of Christ.”

“Depart in peace as the body of Christ, that the world may be made whole.”

“The soul is like a wild animal. . .”One of my favorite quotes from Parker Palmer is this:

“The soul is like a wild animal—tough, resilient, savvy, self-sufficient and yet exceedingly shy. If we want to see a wild animal, the last thing we should do is to go crashing through the woods, shouting for the creature to come out. But if we are willing to walk quietly into the woods and sit silently for an hour or two at the base of a tree, the creature we are waiting for may well emerge, and out of the corner of an eye we will catch a glimpse of the precious wildness we seek.”

That is why attending to the soul in modern Amer-ica is so difficult. It seems everything is at work to startle us. There are real pressures to be sure; economic uncertainty, our very serious politi-cal and societal divisions, outright violence that leads to death nationally and locally.

But there are also the more sublte but equally destructive forces; the tyrannic pressure of our schedules, the invasion of media, the constant drive of our market economy, the unyielding demands of new technology.

All of it scares the soul away. The soul hides and it never wants to come out. As your pastor I’ve felt this in my own soul.

I’m been rushed and pulled. I’ve been yoked by the demands of church and the pressures of family and schedule.

I know how hard it is to speak from the riches of the soul. But the bones of church, the structure of liturgy and song, the beauty of worship and prayer, were always there to help us settle the crashing and shouting of culture. For centuries church has been the quiet in the wilderness, the silence at the base of the tree.

Church is sanctuary; a safe place to focus and hear God and catch a glimpse of the wild soul within us.Our mighty little church cannot calm all the world’s rush. It cannot. But we can dim the roar just a little and together with our investment of time and spirit make space for the soul to be heard again.

Join me, this Lent for worship. Participate in prayer. Devote yourself to contemplation. Help me quiet the forces so that our wild souls can emerge.

Our world needs soul and our very selves need the soul’s to give us back our life.
