Little Lambs Preschool

Spring is officially here! The

preschoolers and myself are

loving this weather! The

beginning of March we took our

monthly trip to Mother Joseph

Manor with the 4 & 5 year olds.

We spent the beginning of March

in the classroom learning about

the ocean and had a great time

making octopus art! We also

celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. The

children wore green and the

leprechaun snuck into preschool

that day. The preschoolers tried

to catch him by setting up a trap,

but he was just too sneaky! We

are getting ready to start talking

about Easter and spring time.

Maggie Bruns, Director/Teacher

Receipts, Labels & Milk Jug Caps Thank you to everyone who brings in Kessler’s

& Ken’s receipts and Labels for

Education. Every one you bring in

helps us to get money back for

the preschool for supplies and

learning items, like paint,

construction paper, and much

more! We greatly appreciate it!!

How can you help if your not

already? Bring in receipts from Kessler’s or

Ken’s, or Labels for Education points found on

many different items. Locate the containers for

these items on the table in the Fellowship Hall

and drop them in. That’s it! We are so thankful

to have Virginia Doerr help us count the labels

and receipts, and turn them in.

**Check out the list of eligible products that

qualify for the Labels for Education program

located near the bins in the Fellowship Hall.

These UPC labels are not just found on

Campbell's soups!!

Good Friday Prayer Vigil

We will be joining together during the evening of Good Friday through Easter

Saturday morning to pray, to worship, and to intentionally be in the presence of

God. We will be hosting a prayer vigil from 8:00pm on Good Friday, April 18th

through 8:00am on Easter Saturday. The hope is to have people sign up to come

in for a half hour time slot in those twelve hours and come to the church to join

in prayer. We are also encouraging the high school youth to sign up to stay at the

church overnight to participate in this prayer vigil. There will times of worship,

prayer stations, silent prayer, lighting candles and others. Please think about

signing up for a time slot and high school youth please plan to join us for this

unique lock-in. Questions? Please talk to Pastor Liz or a member of the Youth

Team.

Yoga Small Group to Continue on

Monday Evenings in April Janene Papendick will continue to lead Yoga from 6:30 to 7:30 on Monday nights. She is skilled at leading yoga for people who are just beginning and those who have more experience by giving simpler and more complex options for each position. Janene has challenged us to grow spiritually by practicing four spiritual practices in our lives.

1. Sitting quietly and simply being aware or

listening for fifteen minutes. 2. Finding time to walk, bike, or be outdoors. 3. Writing a daily list of things that you are

grateful for. 4. Reflecting on what God is doing in your life

and then looking up and thanking God for those things. Examples may be ways that God is inspiring you, strengthening you, forgiving you and giving life a fresh start, empowering and calling you, loving you, including you, challenging you and more.

Stop in on a Monday evening. Wear comfortable clothes that you can stretch in and bring a mat that will make the floor more comfortable for you. We meet in the choir room.

Small Groups

Think about the things that you love, things that fascinate you. I love to get together with people who share those passions and interests. God has created a world full of life for us to experience. We find places for exploration and ways to express ourselves. There are arts, crafts, music, working in a shop, sports, recreations, and so much more. I enjoy things that are spiritual, physical, and intellectual. Don’t you as well? It’s a real pleasure to share what we love with others especially when they share similar interests.

I encourage you to lead a small group. Here’s how it works. Think of something that you’re interested in. Let the church office know and we will print up sign up sheets for a summer small group fair. If people have the time and interest they can sign up.

What if it’s not spiritual? Small groups can be on any topic but we encourage small groups to intentionally practice one of the faith practices and to talk with each other about how the faith practice is opening one’s heart to-ward God and how they are growing and learning. The faith practices are prayer, study, worship, invitation, encour-agement, serving and giving. So here is how it might work (for another example see the note on the Yoga small group below). Say your small group meets on a Saturday night for a pot luck dinner and a movie. The group can intentionally add a time of sharing of what is going on in life as a time to offer encouragement. The group may have a discussion about what concerns for church, community, and world are most pressing to them and intentional prayer can be planned around those real interests. If one is concerned about world peace there may be prayers that focus from peace in our homes and church to the armed conflicts in the world. This faith practice focus becomes a small part of what you do as a group.

So what ideas do you have for a small group? What would you join in order to grow? Here are a few possibilities. If any of these interest you call Pastor Tim in the church office.

1. Summer bird watching. We would gather to travel to birding hotspots around our community on one or two Saturdays a month. We could pack a picnic lunch as we went to places like Sand Lake, Waubay, or even wild-

life refuges in North Dakota. There are several great places to look for birds right in and around Aberdeen as well.

2. The Holy Land revealed. We would gather for a potluck meal and then watch and discuss videos by archaeologist Jodi Magness as she reports on interesting developments in archaeology in the Holy Land. These lectures were produced by The Teaching Company. You will have the opportunity to sample Jodi Magness in the adult class later in April.

What are your ideas? Cooking? Books? Bible Studies? Crafts? Sports? Music? Make an offer and let’s see what happens.

Request for Summer Housing

Jessica and Jasmin are from the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. They are in the Doctorate program in Physical Therapy and will be doing the first clinical rotations this summer and need housing from June 30 to August 22. They are in charge of finding their own housing for those dates that they’re in Aberdeen. So if you have an extra bed and an extra place perhaps at your table this could be a fun experience for you and them. They write that they are willing to help in any way including helping cook, pay rent, or being around as someone just to talk with. So here is a little about them: Jasmin: Graduated last year with a BS in exercise science from the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND. She grew up in Minnesota just north of the twin Cities. She attended a small Lutheran church in which she was very active in the youth group. She has a passion for dance, particularly ballet, as she did classical ballet as well as tap, jazz, and modern dance from age 4. In her spare time she enjoys reading, listening to music, and playing board games. Her clinical rotation in Aberdeen will be through Sanford. Jessica focused on philosophy and theology during her undergrad at the University of Mary. She grew up in Dickinson, ND and was active in her church and community. In her spare time he enjoys puzzles, board games and outside activities. She enjoys children and has worked with children in her church nursery and Sunday School. Her clinical rotation will be at Avera.

The Mission of the Month offering is
