Matters of Life and Death
AAAA s we progress through our Lenten journey towards Easter, we’ll continue to reframe our perspective with an intentional look at God’s gracious gifts for abundant life. So far we’ve covered the gift of reconciliation that enables
forgiveness by pondering the beauty of healing in a way that honors the experiences of our lives, rather than brushing them aside. After all, in the resurrection, Jesus’ own wounds are perfectly healed, but still visible. We’ve also considered God’s generosity, especially in the life and ministry of Jesus, but also in the gift of the Holy Spirit who guides us into more expansive generosity in our response to God’s gifts. Our trust and faith in the Lord constantly reframes the gift of hope, which in turn expands our freedom in Christ, and fills us to overflowing with God’s gifts of compassion and kindness, goodness and love. As Lent progresses and transitions into Holy Week and culminates in a glorious celebration of Easter, we still have much to learn about God’s gift of abundant life!
AAAA s a specific period of time – 40 days – Lent offers us many blessings, but it’s also God’s gift of time that gives us the opportunity to become more intentional and flexible about the reality of transformative living. That is
setting aside the things that lead to spiritual death. As the journey continues, we’ll be looking at hunger and our appetites from the perspective of the prodigal son, and hearing more about God’s gracious and loving provision in all aspects of our lives. As a matter of life, our salvation is assured through God’s grace and our faith in Christ Jesus. God’s love and loving presence constantly sustains us in this life, and shows us the way to even greater freedom.
AAAA s if to complete a theme begun on Ash Wednesday, both Palm Sunday and Good Friday bring us face-to-face with the stark reality of death, and how God helps us face our own mortality. If death sends shivers of fear through
you, then walking with Jesus through his Holy Week journey will help you to face your fears. God’s perfect love drives out fear, and Jesus’ example assures us that God hears our prayers, and provides precisely what we need, when we need it. Our worship and prayers show us how to be humble and vulnerable in a way that empowers us, giving us strength and courage to face all life’s challenges. If we need healing, comfort or compassion, then God’s healing, peace, and presence are available to all in this loving community of faith. God’s transforming grace gently opens our hearts and minds to a new way of seeing and being in the world.
UUUU ltimately, we are children of the resurrection, filled with confident hope and joy. All the fruit of the Spirit are available to us, as is God’s forgiveness and healing. In Christ there’s abundant life in this world, and the assurance
of new and unending life in Him, when our earthly journey is complete. The reality of resurrection living inspires us to deeper, broader, and more expansive love in all our relationships. We are Christ’s body, blessed to share God’s love in our lives and ministries.

“There is something special happening here”. This is a statement I heard a couple of weeks ago. This made me think a little and I came to the same conclusion. There is something special happening here. We have unbelievable music, the liturgy is beautiful and more people are taking part in all of our outreach ministries. Something special is happening here. Everyone is showing that they really want to help around St. James. Without much fanfare, we have had several projects where help came both financially and physically. This has greatly helped us in welcoming SARRC’s Community School to our campus. When we have people wanting to help, wanting to reach out and wanting to stay after the service to visit, it shows that there really is something special happening here. Peace, Bob Klassen

The Men’s Bible Study Group (with incredible help from Jill Leatherman, Vickey Hall, and Kim Gillespie)
prepared a wonderful Pancake Supper for Shrove Tuesday. The food and fellowship brought well over
$300 to support our Watkins meal service ministry.
Reconciliation of a Penitent & Individual Confession: The season of Lent is a particularly
appropriate time to consider the Rite of Reconciliation of a Penitent (see pages 446-
452 in the Book of Common Prayer). Confession is an ancient practice of the Church
and is not confined to any season of the year. However, many choose to make a formal
confession during Lent. If you have any questions, or would like an appointment to
make your confession, please let Susan+ know.

Gathered Around the Cross
T he story of Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion is a rich and detail-laden story. We could spend hours discussing parts of
phrases, but how much better it might be if we could just have some of the feeling we get in that old spiritual “Were
You There When They Crucified My Lord?” Something hauntingly spiritual and powerful lives in that question. In truth,
even those who were there may not have had any idea about what was really taking place. Only in retrospect, especially
with the perspective of faith, do some people like the writers of the Gospels tell us that something cosmically significant and
everlastingly important was taking place at the moment when Jesus was on that cross.
I f we take the perspective of John’s Gospel, we find that Jesus must look hard in order to discover any true friends in the
crowds gathered around the cross. But look he does, and in the process he sees his
mother, and the disciple whom he loved. John tells us that two other women were
there as well, his mother’s sister, and Mary Magdalene, and some others. Soldiers are
nearby, and two others are being crucified with him, but in John’s telling of this story
Jesus doesn’t talk with them. Far into the background are Pilate and the chief priests,
and off in hiding are all the rest of the disciples, including bold Peter, sulking now for
having denied Jesus.
W hat looks like defeat is, strangely, the fulfillment of a life directed toward such a
moment. At least in John’s Gospel the picture we have of Jesus is of someone
who is about as far from a helpless victim as you can get. It isn’t that he would wish his
death, for indeed he had prayed with real tears that this was a cup which might be
taken away. But when finally the time comes for him to drink this cup, he does so with
a kind of commanding presence that has eternal consequences. His final words, so difficult to utter because it takes his last
breath to get them out, are “It is finished.”
W hat was finished, of course, was just about to start. Except for those four who stood by the cross, it will take a while before they can come to terms with what happened. It will take some time for his disciples to be regathered and
spirited for the missionary work that lies before them. It will take some time before Paul gets turned around by a bolt of
lightning. A number of years will pass before some followers feel compelled to write down the entire story. Many of us
can identify with them at this point as we testify to the time it has taken us to get to this point in our faith walk.
O n that cross-marked day so long ago only Jesus, it seems, had any inkling about the eternal ramifications of what was
taking place. Now we find ourselves reflecting on what took place on the day Jesus died. From the perspective of
the cross, when Jesus said “It is finished,” he was saying that the bridge of reconciliation was finally and completely
established. This bridge moreover was laid down in love and sacrifice and meant for everyone in the world. All who walk
into this forgiveness will need to pause by his cross and see Jesus looking at them with the love he had for his mother and
that disciple. Praise God that he looks at us with the same love.

Christian Formation (CFFA)
Our study of Food in the Bible continues this month. It’s never too late to join the fun, because there’s more to God’s provision of our daily bread than you might imagine. Food is essential to life, and that includes spiritual food that helps us grow in faith, and deepen all our relationships. All are welcome as we gather in the library each Sunday at 9:45 am to explore God’s Word on food, our appetites, and the social justice implications for abundant life. All you need is an open mind and heart, because that’s where all our learning,
growing, and sharing begins!

The Lent to Lent Bible Challenge Continues. . .
“More than 500,000 Episcopalians in the U.S. and Anglicans around the world have already benefited from The Bible Challenge in 2,500 churches and 50 countries. It’s free! It’s God’s Word. Don’t miss out!” Are you looking for an exciting and fulfilling way to spiritual growth? This year we are reading the whole Bible in a year
from Lent to Lent. There are still copies of the reading schedule available in the narthex. The study involves reading
portions of the Bible with texts from the Old Testament, a Psalm, and the New Testament each day. The challenge
involves reading Scripture 6 days a week, and assumes that we’ll hear God’s Word on Sundays. If reading the whole Bible
in a year seems too daunting there are other options available to kick start your commitment to spiritual growth immersed
in God’s Word. For example: read the New Testament, read the Book of Psalms, or read the Gospels.
I’ll be around at coffee hour (after the 10:30am service) on the first and third Sunday of each month if you have questions
or want to share your experiences and insights. Or feel free to call me or stop by the office to discuss your progress and
questions. Discover what a difference God’s Word can make in every aspect of your life: take the Bible challenge!

2016 Lenten Study: Romero: A study of transformation through faith
Join our Deacons each Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 8 pm for a soup supper, ending March 16ending March 16ending March 16ending March 16thththth. This five week
study is based on the 1989 (PG-13) movie “Romero”.
Romero (1989) is the true, compelling, and deeply moving look at the life of Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador,
who made the ultimate sacrifice in a passionate stand against social injustice and oppression in his country. This film
chronicles the transformation of Romero from an apolitical, complacent priest to a committed leader of the Salvadoran
people. His strength in his faith led to his transformation and offers us insight into our own spirituality. This film stars
the late Raul Julia and is rated PG-13. A workbook will be provided. Our discussion and reflection will revolve around
each week’s themes found listed below:
Week 3 March 2nd 6:30 to 8:00 pm A culture of justice and purpose
Week 4 March 9th 6:30 to 8:00 pm Challenges & joys of the Good News
Week 5 March 16th 6:30 to 8:00 pm Faith in Action: Spirituality, Redemption & Love
Please feel free to drop in as often as you can. If you have any questions, please see Deacon Pat, Deacon Fritz, or Deacon
