“I am the vine, you are the branches” was the theme

of Pastor Ed’s ordination.

Dear PoP Friends, Thank you to everyone who had a part in making my ordination service such a

wonderful experience. The worship, music, fellowship, and strong sense of

support from the PoP family and my fellow pastors was amazing! It’s a day

that I will remember and treasure for a lifetime. As I begin this new ministry, I

am humbly grateful for the outpouring of encouragement, prayers and good

wishes you have shared with me and my family throughout our life journey

with you. Special thanks to the PoP Seminary Support Team; Pastors Gary,

Roger, Will and Cheryl for your part in the service; Brian, Betsy, Sondra,

Canticle Choir, Bells and Brass for the music; Peggy for your hospitality to our

Exodus Youth Group bowled at Rusch’s on March 8th. Below is the group that participated and had a GREAT time!

He is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed!

Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the

dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; if Christ has not been raised,

then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. - I Corinthians 15:12-14

He is risen! The Easter message of the resurrection of Jesus again rings out to all who would hear it and believe it. The

centrality of the Christ’s resurrection to the Christian religion can never be underestimated in importance for as Paul says,

“If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain . . .” The fact of the resurrection is so crucial that any other

aspect of Christ’s life and teachings rotates around it. To deny the resurrection, says Paul, is to deny Christianity!

One of the conditions into which Christianity was born was the death of the old Roman religion of many gods and

goddesses, trotting about the celestial heavens acting more like spoiled children than divine beings. These peculiar gods

had strange characteristics of acting more like humans than gods in their jealous fantasies and selfish actions. And, most

important, in the Roman mythology, a god would or could actually die! No wonder the Roman world finally rejected their own

religion. Who can give allegiance to a dead god?

The message of Christianity invaded the Roman Empire and conquered it. Christianity preached that, though Christ died,

Jesus was raised from the dead and was victorious. Our Christ is no dead god, but the living God! The importance of the

resurrection assured that Christianity could successfully move into the vacuum of lives left by the dead Roman religions.

For us, the resurrection must also be central. If we do not celebrate the Easter resurrection, then we may as well go back to

worshiping sacred trees, holy rocks, and divine streams much like our ancient pagan ancestors did. But Christ has been

raised! That event, known through faith, confirms his divine nature, and it is far superior to any third-rate, dead god. In fact,

Christ’s resurrection confirms our own resurrection after our deaths! He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Happy Easter! See You in Church!

Pastor Gary J. Nokleberg

Midweek Lenten Worship Services The Jesus Creed 6:30 pm, Wednesdays, April 2 and 9 What was it like to be a Christian during the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry? The earliest Christians didn’t sing in the choir or

go to weekly Bible studies, and yet they matured inwardly in relationship with God, as well as outwardly in their relationships

with each other. They lived out what is Prince of Peace’s mission statement – they were “growing in faith and reaching out in

love”! How did they do it?

Spiritual maturity for these early Christians rested on the foundation of the two great commandments – first, “Love the Lord

your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” and second, “Love your

neighbor as yourself.” Come and join us for the Lenten Midweek Worship Services and learn The Jesus Creed!

Letter from Hrang Hlei

Hrang is looking forward to visiting PoP on Sunday, May 4 before he graduates with his PhD on May 18. He will bring his

wife, A Cer, daughter Jessica and son Luke to worship with us one last time.

Dear members of Prince of Peace,

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!

First, on behalf of my family, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your generous financial support

throughout my study at Luther Seminary. I cannot imagine how I would manage to live comfortably with my family and finish

my study without your financial support. Thank you very much!

Second, I am especially grateful to members of the Mission Endowment Fund for kindly granting me the money ($1706)

requested through the Global Mission Team. Because of your help, my family does not have to worry for our rent for the

remaining months at Luther. No words can fully describe our heartfelt thanks to you. May God bless as you continue to serve

God through providing financial support to others who are in need of help.

Third, it is because of your generous financial support that I have been able to focus on my study and finish it. My research

title is: “The Formation of Chin Immigrant Congregations in the United States: Discovering Their Ecclesiological Identities.”

The research results show that Chin immigrant congregations are evolving, indicating the fact that they are in the process of

forming and developing new ecclesiological identities.

Finally, I would like to request your continuing prayers as I begin my journey beyond seminary, looking forward to

participating in God’s mission the world. I am expected to be in a full time teaching ministry when I return to Myanmar. At

the same time, I am interested in doing God’s mission in the area of education, which is an essential element in the process

of nation building. Many young people in Myanmar have become illiterate and unemployed because of a broken education

system under the previous military regime. As in the mission statement of Prince of Peace, “growing in faith, reaching out in

love,” my vision is to reach out to many young people in Myanmar and provide them access to education. I would like to

invite Prince of Peace to be a part of this vision as I anticipate to make it materialized upon returning to my home country.

Sincerely in Christ,

Hrang Hlei

expected to complete before the end of the school year.

The deadline for completing memory work is Sunday, May

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Save the Date for the Fox Cities

MobilePack 2014! The Feed My Starving Children Fox Cities

MobilePack 2014 is July 21-23 at First

English Lutheran Church – Ballard Road site. Prince of Peace will

once again be a co-sponsoring congregation (10 congregations

total to date). The goal this year is to pack 275,000 meals – up

75,000 from last year - which will feed an additional 206 children

for a year (over past years). As a MobilePack we will need to raise

$60,000 and engage 1366 volunteers – exciting!!! If you would

like to be a member of the FMSC planning team at Prince of

Peace, please contact Pam Gruner (739-5310 or

pgruner@aol.com).

Installation of Pastor Ed Newly ordained Pastor Ed Baseman will be installed

as pastor of Resurrection Lutheran Church in Green

Bay on Sunday, April 6 at 9 a.m. Prince of Peace

members are invited to be present to join in the

celebration of the start of his pastoral ministry there!

The address of the church is 1024 Shawano Avenue

in Green Bay.

Brian Gerike’s

Resignation Brian Gerike, the Director of the

Canticle Choir, announced last

Wednesday that he and his wife,

Betsy, will be leaving the Fox

Cities to teach in Guadalajara,

Mexico this fall. As a result,

Brian is resigning his position at

Prince of Peace effective the end

of May. We have been greatly

blessed by Brian’s music ministry this past year, and

we will miss him dearly. But God calls us to

ministries elsewhere, and so we rejoice that both

Brian and Betsy will be teaching at Lincoln School,

an international Christian school, in Guadalajara for

the next two years. They request your prayers as

they begin this new adventure in the service of our

Lord!

THANK YOU!! Thank you for your generous donations to LEAVEN.

We were able to contribute 42 packages of diapers

and we raised $358.33 in our open door offering.

Your support is greatly appreciated!

Easter 'Continental' Breakfast

in the Narthex! This Easter visit the narthex between services to

enjoy a spread of fruit, bagels, and muffins. All

donations support our high school mission trip to

the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota!

Join the Human Race Would you like to enjoy the outdoors, enjoy a performance by

members of the fabulous UW Marching Band, AND support the Fox

Valley Warming Shelter? Well, here’s your chance! Please join us

on May 3rd at 10:00 a.m. for the Human Race, a 1 mile walk/run

at the Thrivent grounds off Ballard Rd., sponsored by the Volunteer

Center of East Central Wisconsin. This is our third year

participating, and we made almost $6000 last year! So, how can

you help? You can be a Warming Shelter Champion by forming a

team of folks from your church to walk with us (our team name is

Warming Works!) As with other walk/runs, you get sponsors to

pledge money toward your walk. Or, you can get some pledges and

walk with us individually on May 3rd. If you are willing to do either

Community Boards

Did you know that Prince of Peace has two “Community”

bulletin boards? The community bulletin board is located in

the Community Room and on the kiosk. The community

bulletin boards are displays of the many outreach

opportunities, educational workshops, leadership seminars,

fundraisers and hands on activities. Take some time to look

at the board and see what opportunities you would like to

take part in/or “tugs at your heart”.

Step into Serving The Witness Ministry at Prince of Peace is a great

opportunity to engage in ministry and build

relationships. The Witness Ministry team serves in a

variety of roles, helping new members, creating a warm

environment and welcoming the community to Prince of

Peace.

We are all created with a unique blend of interests,

abilities, and spiritual gifts for the purpose of playing a

role in our community. When we use these God-given

gifts to support our community, we make a lasting

impression in the lives of others – and in our own lives.

As you serve, you will see God using you, your family

and others to bring about change in people’s lives and

in our community. There are many opportunities

available to serve at Prince of Peace. Prayfully consider

serving!
