The Pastor’s ThoughtsBy: Rev. Keith BurkOne of the most cherished gifts we have as Lutherans is the Book of Concord. "Concord" basically means "harmony." So, the Book of Concord is really the "Book of Harmony." It lays out in detail what we as faithful Christians believe, teach and confess. If you want to know what Scripture teaches, look in the Confessions (one of the parts of the Book of Concord). This is what we, as a Lutheran church, subscribe to.

How much do we know of this important document? How much do we as a church and individual members know what the Book of Concord really says? Now, before you dismiss the Book of Concord as a "Lutheran" book, remember the historical context of the Reformation. Most of the Reformers were Catholic. They didn't have near the denominations we do today. Martin Luther and the other Reformers were not trying to start a new denomination or religion–They tried bringing Catholic teaching back in line with Scripture. That was the intent and reason for writing the Book of Concord.

So the Book of Concord is not a Lutheran document at all, it is a Christian document. As I said in February's article: "Being a Lutheran is another way of saying being faithful [to God's Word].”

Easter Sunday is April 5.

A special Easter service at Faith of Our Fathers will be at 8:00 a.m. followed by breakfast provided by and served by the youth of the church. Please make plans to join the celebration. Easter, the festival of our Lord’s resurrection, gives us the assurance of eternal life in Jesus Christ and the certainty of our own resurrection.

Voter's MeetingThe Voter's Assembly meeting scheduled for April 12 has been cancelled. A special Voter's meeting was held on March 15 instead. Funds for a catered dinner were approved at the special Voter's Assembly held on March 15.

Congratulations to Emma Severson, who is being confirmed and will receive her first communion on Palm Sunday, March 29.

Anniversary Celebration on May 3

Look for a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board for the anniversary dinner. It will help us better determine the amount of food to order if we have a better approximation of attendance.

If weather permits, we would like to set up tents and have some tables outside for the Anniversary, since we don't have room inside for everyone to sit to eat comfortably. Let Linda or Rich know if you have a tent we could borrow or if you could help put up a tent on Saturday May 2nd.

Look for posters to be ready after Easter. Please take as many as you need to post in grocery stores, etc., or to send to former members, family, and friends.

Keep FOOF in your prayers. We are celebrating our Anniversary because we've been enormously blessed to have Word and Sacrament available to us in this area for the past 25 years. Rejoice! Sing to the Lord a New Song!

The Anniversary Committee is still trying to put together a picture collage. Give any pictures that be can copied to Linda Cox.

Easter eggs, also called Paschal eggs, are decorated eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime. Eggs are a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth. In Christianity Easter eggs symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus. The Easter egg, for Christians, is a reminder that Jesus rose from the grave, and that those who believe will also experience eternal life.

from wikipedia.orgIn the upper room on Easter evening, when Christ told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until God had“clothed them with power from on high,” Jesus also “opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations…’” (Luke 24:45-47).

If you see a repair or project you would like to see undertaken around the church building, please leave a message in Tim Dorn's mailbox. Tim will either contact you at worship service or by phone if he needs additional information. Please include your phone number on the message.

Lutheran BELIEF and PRACTICEWhat About . . .

The Lutheran Church— Missouri Synod By Dr. A. L. BarryPresident, The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synodfrom lcms.org

B y God’s blessing, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is committed to being strongly in the Word, Christ-centered and people-sensitive, reaching out boldly with the Gospel, faithful to the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions, and marked by peace and unity in the Lord.

A peace that passes all human understanding In the fullness of time, the Son of God descended to earth and became man in the womb of the Virgin Mary. In Jesus, God Himself was with us on earth. Jesus was not only with us, but for us. He came into this sinful and dying world to fight our enemies: sin, death and the devil. He came to set us free. He defeated these enemies by laying down His own life.

Through His perfect life and by His death on the cross, Jesus paid the full debt of sin for all people. He rose again and gives us a new life, a life that has meaning, purpose and direction—a life filled with hope and confidence, even during times of sorrow and trouble. Jesus Christ is with us. He loves us and cares for us, giving us the peace that truly passes human understanding.

A Family of Christian Believers

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is a family of 2.6 million Christians, gathered in more than 6,000 congregations throughout the United States. Our church body was founded more than 150 years ago by a small band of immigrants in America who were dedicated to preaching and teaching the Gospel of the forgiveness of sins through Christ alone. Many of the founders of our Synod were from Missouri, hence the word “Missouri” in our church’s name.

Our congregations are united in an association of Christian fellowship called a “Synod,” which means “walking together.” Every congregation is self governed and unique. We believe and teach the same Biblical truths, but our congregations also reflect the diversity of the people we serve. Some are located in rural areas, others in inner cities. Some are large, others are very small. Most use English, but some offer worship services in Vietnamese, Spanish, Laotian, and other languages. We are a family gathered from all nations, united in the wonderful truth that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.

Strongly in the Word The voice of Jesus calls sinners to repentance, and comforts the brokenhearted through the preaching and teaching of His Word from our pulpits and in our classrooms. We are a church that honors the Bible as the written Word of God—the very voice of Jesus, our Good Shepherd. God the Holy Spirit, through this Word, creates and sustains trust in Jesus Christ. Through this living and powerful Word, Jesus Himself rebukes, comforts, forgives. and guides His people through the perplexing, difficult and confusing questions and decisions we face in our lives.

We believe strongly that Jesus is with us and that He still rules His church today through His Word. Therefore, we are committed to reading, studying. and growing in the Word of God, the Holy Bible. Our church’s deeply spiritual and reverent liturgical worship is filled with the Word of God, through which Jesus blesses us with His presence and peace.

Christ-Centered and People-Sensitive We treasure the special means by which Jesus Himself dwells among us with His forgiving grace. Therefore, our Synod is very much Christ-centered. Our focus is on Jesus Christ and His presence among us.

We believe that Jesus is present among us through the lifegiving waters of Baptism, a Sacrament that unites us with Jesus' death and resurrection, washes away our sins, and brings us into the body of Christ, the Holy Christian Church. We rejoice in the gracious presence of Jesus in the Sacrament called the Lord’s Supper. It is the true body and blood under bread and wine given to Christians to eat and to drink. In this sacred meal, Jesus feeds us and sustains us with the forgiveness of sins, strengthening us for a life of service to Him in this world, and preparing us for life forever with Him in heaven.

As the people of the Missouri Synod, we rejoice in Christ’s presence, not only in our public worship assemblies, but also in our daily lives. Whether our place of service is small or great, humble or exalted in the eyes of the world, it is a holy calling in which we serve the Lord Jesus Christ with joyful hearts.

Together and individually, we strive to follow the example of Jesus who loved us and cared for us when we had no strength. Through our church’s relief programs, our Synod is present with material and spiritual resources to care for those who suffer from natural disasters and tragedies in the world. We have built and help to maintain a large network of Lutheran hospitals, nursing homes, and human-care agencies to serve the sick, the elderly, the victims of abuse, those struggling with addictions, and many others coping with difficult situations and transitions in life.

The Missouri Synod has been a strong voice in America in defense of the sanctity and value of all human life from the unborn to the handicapped to the elderly. Because we are people-sensitive, we want to serve others as God has loved and served us in Jesus Christ.

Reaching Out Boldly with the Gospel The Bible calls Jesus “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”(John 1:29). Having paid our debt with His blood, Jesus rose from the dead and returned to the heavenly Father to reign over all things. He gave His disciples the command to go into all the world to baptize, teach. and observe all that He commanded. He promised that He would continue to be with them through the ages.

Through congregations, and our regional and national offices, we strive to carry out our Lord’s command to make known His love and forgiveness to the whole world. The LCMS operates a worldwide mission program, sending more than 400 missionaries into nearly 70 countries around the world. These missionaries bring the good news of Jesus into places where His Name is not yet known and help to strengthen existing churches. Because each Christian is a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ,it is our duty and privilege to tell the good news of Jesus to our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and all the people God puts in our lives.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is a respected leader in the field of Christian education. We place great emphasis on instruction in the Word. We recognize this as one of the most effective ways of reaching out boldly with the Gospel. Therefore, we administer the largest Protestant school system in the United States, operating more than 2,000 preschools, elementary schools, and high schools serving more than 250,000 students. We also value higher education, operating 10 colleges and universities. Our Synod’s schools are not merely private alternatives to public education, but Christ centered, Word-saturated havens of God’s Spirit.

To maintain the high quality and spiritual direction of our schools, we educate a large number of Lutheran school teachers in our universities. These teachers are dedicated servants of the Lord who are able to lead students into the love of Christ. To fill our church pulpits with mature men of God who know the Scriptures and are able to proclaim and apply the Word, we operate two seminaries.

Faithful to the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions

Martin Luther, the great Christian Reformer of the 16th century, boldly proclaimed the Bible’s most important message: that Christ came into the world to save sinners, and lived among us to defeat our enemies—sin, death, and the devil. Luther believed and taught that Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross washed away the sins of the whole world, and that those who place their trust in Him are forgiven. They are declared righteous and are reconciled to God.

What Luther began in 1517 reached its culmination in 1580, when the official statements of Lutheran belief (the Lutheran Confessions) were gathered together in what is known as the Book of Concord. We place great value in retaining and advancing the cause of the Lutheran Reformation. We see in the Reformation movement the hand of God working to preserve the truth of His Word and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are committed to genuine, historical Lutheranism.

Marked by Peace and Unity in the Lord Finally,we are united, not by our color, or our occupations, or our social and economic status, but by our union with the living Lord Jesus Christ and our common confession of the truths of His Word. We rejoice and live in the faith that God has given us. We are eager to share that faith with many others, so that all may come to know Jesus Christ, the one who brings us real peace, deep joy, and life forever.

Welcome to The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod!

A STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT

“And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denar-ius? . . . I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you? Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?” (Matthew 20:11–15).

Entry into the Kingdom of heaven is by grace not by works. And this is the point of the parable. Those hired first received the same wage as those hired last. Those hired first, even though they bore the heat of the day, received the same wage as those hired last. Entry into the kingdom comes by grace, by the gracious call and invitation of the owner of the vineyard.

And we chafe against this. We, like those hired first, object to the master’s decision. We begrudge him because of his generosity. We think that those who labored longer should receive a greater wage. And we protest that it’s not fair. But that is precisely the point. It’s not fair. It’s by grace. It’s given from God’s undeserved love and kindness, not by merit. So we should rejoice. For to ask for fairness, to ask to be treated by what deserve and have earned, is simply to ask for hell.

For God owes us nothing. For by grace you are saved, by his underserved love and mercy. And even though it was undeserved, that doesn’t mean it was cheap. It wasn’t cheap, but costly. It cost God the Father His own Son. It cost the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, His very life. God’s grace is costly grace. It costs us nothing but the cost for God was great. For it was achieved by the shedding of the holy and pre-

cious blood and the innocent suffering and death of Jesus. And it is by that shed blood that God by grace calls us to be His own. It is by that death that God by grace gives us entrance into His kingdom.

He doesn’t owe us. We’re not entitled to anything from God. He is not indebted to us. We are indebted to Him. For we have not lived as He mattered most. We have not loved Him with our whole heart, body, mind, and soul, with all that we are and all that we have. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve his temporal and eternal punishments. But unlike us, He doesn’t hold this debt over our heads. He has instead place our debt upon the head of His Son, and His Son has taken it willingly so that we would be forgiven and free.

For reasons all His own God has determined to love us. He has taken the punishment we deserve upon himself. He has given gifts to those whom He knows would take it for granted. This is grace. He is kind, forgiven, steadfast. He is slow to anger and abounding in love. For the kingdom of heaven is entered by grace, by His giving not our earning.

He is allowed to do what He chooses with what belongs to Him. But it doesn’t work the same way with us. For what belongs to us? Nothing. We belong to Him, by water and His Name. He purchased and won us from sin, death, and the devil by His holy, precious blood and His innocent suffering and death, so that we would be His own special possession. Thus, we have nothing of our own, it all belongs to Him. We are stewards of what He has given to us. And so we give of ourselves, all that we are and all that we have, to those whom God has placed us to care for in our vocations of members of a family, soci-ety, and the church.

And if He has done all this for us, how can we not do with everything that He gave us likewise?

Missing Easterby TERRY DITTMER from LCMS.org

Barry rushed in the front door, threw his books on the hall table and catapulted himself up the stairs to his room where he quickly changed into his work uniform. Dashing back down the stairs and racing through the kitchen, he grabbed a handful of cookies, gave his mom a quick kiss on the cheek and said, “See ya later.”

“What about church?” His mom called out.

“Not tonight, Mom. Gotta work. Another guy called in sick, and I can use the money. See ya!”

It seemed an unusually busy night at the Hamburger Hut. “I don’t remember when we’ve cooked up this many fries on a Thursday night!” Barry’s boss said gleefully.

Barry himself was laying out yet another tray of burgers on the grill to make into the Hut’s specialty – the Sooper Dooper Burger. The big dinner rush was over, but they wanted to be ready for anybody.Barry glanced at the clock. 7:25pm. In another five minutes, church would be starting. Maundy Thursday. They’d be celebrating the Lord’s Supper.

“Hey, I need two more Scoopers.”

Barry shoveled the meat onto a poppy-seed bun, squirted on the special sauce, added two slices of tomato, a slice of onion and two slices of dill pickle, expertly wrapped it in foil and slid the burgers down the chute to the waiting hands of the counter help.

8:15 pm. They are probably starting the communion liturgy.

“Take eat. This is my body,” Barry imagines the pastor as he unpacks a case of burger buns.

“I’ll take a large Coke . . . no ice.” He hears the order at the counter.

“Take drink,” the pastor says.

11:30 pm and Barry’s done for the night. There is the lingering smell of hamburger grease on his uniform. He’s put in a good night’ work. Yet he feels that something’s missing.

Friday night. “Dan’s going to be here at 7:00 pm, Mom,” Julie calls down the hall. “I’ve got to hurry.”

“I wish you were going to church,” Julie’s mom says as she enters her room.

“Oh, Mom. You know Dan just can’t get into all our church stuff. And we’ve planned this date all week. I’m sorry. Don’t stay up. We’ll probably be out till midnight. Movie and a pizza.” And Julie gave her mom a hug and was out the door.

Dan and Julie met Kim and Mike at the multiplex at the mall. There were a lot of other kids there that they knew from school. There was a new “teen film” showing. Everybody was talking about it. This was the hot ticket in town right now – rated R.

Julie’s mom and dad sat down in a pew close to the front of the half-empty church. “Tonight we remember a death, the most profound death ever,” the pastor intoned.

“Life stinks,” shouts a bitter hero from the big silver screen in the cinema.

“Christ died for all so that we all might have life.”

“If my life is worth anything, it’s because of what I do for myself. Look out for number one.”

“Christ died to pay for our sins. We can put our sins behind us. We strive to live a holy, Christ-filled life.”

Julie felt a little uncomfortable as the couple on screen began to undress. Everybody around her was really into the movie. Dan seemed so absorbed. Why did she feel so out of it?

“Father, forgive them. Father, love them. Father, save them. Amen.”

Julie was quiet the rest of the night. She didn’t feel much like pizza she said. Could they go home early? Dan dropped her off before 11:00 pm. Julie’s mom was still up.

“Something wrong, honey?”

“No, Mom. Just a little tired.” She fell asleep, vaguely sensing something missing.

Paula and Nick met at the mall at 10:00 am Saturday morning. Paula needed to do a little shopping before Sunday morning. And they would have lunch and just hang out.It was hard to find a parking place. It seemed like everybody and his brother had decided to do a little last-minute Easter shopping. The crowds were amazing. Paula waited 20 minutes to check out at the department store makeup counter. A woman behind her was swearing a blue streak and Paula couldn’t wait to get out of there.

She and Nick passed the line of parents and kids waiting to have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny. One mother yanked her son back in line and demanded that he stand still. Another grabbed her frightened daughter. “You will too sit on that *#@! Bunny’s lap. I want your picture. Now straighten up.” What a ritual, Paula thought.

Lunch was no better. The food court was packed. And today people seemed so unfriendly, so pressed for time. It was spring. The flowers were in bloom. Tomorrow was Easter. But everybody was so grumpy. Kids fussing. Parents fussing. People pushing. Smiles few and far between.

Paula was glad to get home. “I’ll never do that again. Something’s missing.”

“First service is almost over. Let’s get this breakfast on the road.” Mrs. Gallant, the youth group counselor, was giving orders again.

Bob had been up since 5:00 am and at church since 6:00 am. He and the other kids were getting ready for the annual Easter breakfast.

As the Easter trumpets sounded the opening hymn at the sunrise service, Bob and Freddy were setting up tables. When the choir was singing their Easter anthem, Bob and Mary were pouring juice into paper cups. While Bob and Carol laid out pastries in neat arrangements on borrowed silver trays, the pastor was preaching the Good News of the resurrection. As the Easter Communion was distributed, Bob was stirring the first of many batches of scrambled eggs. Just about the time the Benediction was announced, Bob sat down ready to welcome folks to breakfast and take their money.

“Best breakfast ever,” Mrs. Gallant announced proudly. “I’ve never seen such a large crowd. Now, let’s get this place cleaned up.”

So, as the second service began, the Easter trumpets again sounding the opening hymn, Bob pushed the crumbs of uneaten scrambled eggs and pastry into the waiting garbage can. As the choir sang the Easter anthem, Bob and Freddy were taking down tables. While the pastor shared the Good News of the resurrection, Bob took the garbage sacks out to the trash bin. Through the distribution, Bob and Carol swept the floor of the fellowship hall. “Good job!” Mrs. Gallant gushed.

Bob, Paula, Julie, Barry, Carol, Nick and the others got to the back of the church just as the pastor was announcing the blessing. “May the Lord bless and keep you . . . and give you peace.”

Bob looked at the rest and without really thinking said, “I feel like I missed Easter.” Each in his or her own way knew exactly what Bob meant. Somehow, they had missed the news.

Easter is the Good News that Christ is alive. He is risen. A grave could not contain the living God. And because He lives, His people will also live.

In a world too busy and often despairing, empty, sad and lonely, the good, joyful, happy news of the resurrection gives comfort, reassurance and hope.

It is also news easily missed. It’s not that we intentionally miss it. We just end up busy or distracted. We do good work for our bosses. We enjoy the company of our friends. We complete our errands and chores. We even work hard at church events.

Fortunately for us, God’s grace and mercy do not ever miss us. We are always loved, always forgiven, always renewed in Christ’s love.

That’s the Good News of Easter. Because Christ lives, we shall live also. That’s too good a message to miss. In Christ, there is life and hope and happiness.

Hear the words: “He is risen! He is risen indeed!” For you!

DON’T MISS EASTER!
