They Followed the Master 2014 Lenten Drama Series

Mark your calendar for March 5th as we begin our Lenten journey with our 7 pm Ash Wednesday worship service which includes the imposition of ashes.

The following 5 Wednesdays, plan to join us at 6 pm for our simple Lenten suppers fol-lowed by a 7 pm the worship service featur-ing the Lenten drama, “They Followed the Master”.

“They Followed The Master” gives power and vividness to the Lenten experience for participants and congregants. Characters are carefully based on the scriptural evi-dence, supplemented by imaginative re-creation of what they might have said. Each week we will meet one or more char-acters from Jesus’ life and the Passion, end-ing with the final drama on Maundy Thurs-day:

March 12: Mary, Mother of Jesus

March 19: John and Andrew

March 26: Martha and Lazarus

April 2: Judas and Matthew

April 9: Joanna, Wife of Chuza

April 17: The Mother of Judas

The suppers scheduled for the Wednesdays in Lent are as follows:

March 12: Soup (Council)

March 19: Spaghetti (Youth)

March 26: Chili (Deacons)

April 2: TBD (Amazing Grace Small Group)

April 9: OPEN

So what’s the deal with Lent?

Lent refers to the *forty days leading up to Easter. The number "40" has always had special spiritual significance regarding prep-aration. On Mount Sinai, preparing to re-ceive the Ten Commandments, "Moses stayed there with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights, without eating any food or drink-ing any water" (Ex 34:28). Elijah walked "40 days and 40 nights" to the mountain of the Lord, Mount Horeb (another name for Si-nai) (I Kgs 19:8). Most importantly, Jesus fasted and prayed for "40 days and 40 nights" in the desert before He began His public ministry (Mt 4:2).

The Lenten season is set aside for self-examination, spiritual renewal, and growth. Lent invites us to make our hearts ready for remembering Jesus’ passion and celebrat-ing Jesus’ resurrection.

By attending the Wednesday worship ser-vices we have the opportunity to prepare our hearts and minds as we journey to the cross together, as a community of faith. When we pause for worship mid-week dur-ing Lent, we deliberately take time for self-examination, repentance and spiritual re-newal. We focus our hearts and minds on what Christ has done for us and we discov-er the real significance of His sacrifice: amazing grace!

*Lent's duration is actually 46 days. However, as Sun-days represent Christ's resurrection, they are not commonly counted in the tally between Ash Wednes-day and the Easter vigil.

Prayer Perspiration

In reading a passage from the Come Boldly prayer devotional, the phrase “prayer perspiration” struck me.

The passage is from the book Touch the World through Prayer by Wesley Duewel, a missionary who spent 25 years in India. It focuses on the labor of prayer, pointing out that prayer is indeed hard work. It involves wrestling within ourselves and with God, warfare against temptation, and agonizing even as our Savior did in the Garden of Gethsemane.

In Colossians 4:12, St. Paul writes concerning Epaphras: “Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.” (ESV)

St. Luke writes, “And being in an agony He prayed more earnestly; and His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” (Luke 22:44 ESV). Duewel’s phrase “prayer perspiration” is a reminder to us to become less superficial in our prayers.

As we enter the Lenten season, may we struggle in our prayers for others as Epaphras did and pray fervently, persistently, even agonizingly, as Christ did.

Pr. Dennis M. Roser pastorroser@calvarylc.com teachingfaithinchrist.wordpress.com Dear Friends,

Holy Week This year, our congregation will be emphasizing the Palm Sunday aspect of Palm/Passion Sunday, rather than the Passion part of the observance. I have found it beneficial to emphasize, every few years, Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem in my preaching for that morning. While this particular Sunday in the Church year has always included the reading of our Lord’s Passion, it was traditionally called “Palm Sunday.” Recognizing the inclusion of the procession with palms and the reading of the Passion ac-count (traditionally from Matthew), the name was altered in 1955 to the "Second Sunday of the Passion or Palm Sunday". However, most Lutheran congregations continued to call this Sunday, “Palm Sunday.” In 1970, this Sunday was given a new alternative name: "Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord." Gradually, this designation was taken up by an increasing num-ber of Lutheran congregations, and has come to be known as “Palm/Passion Sunday.” In the time of Luther, and certainly in the years preceding him, our congregations would begin their worship with the reading of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem from either Matthew 21 or John 12, and then they would read the Passion narrative from Matthew 26, as the gospel lesson. Thus, reading the Passion account during Palm Sunday services is a centuries-old practice among Christians. With the advent of the three-year lectionary cycle (one year for Matthew, one for Mark, and one for Luke – with John read on various Sundays through-out the three years) in the 1970’s, the accounts of Mark and Luke have been added to the Church’s readings. Of course, John’s account of Jesus’ Passion has been, and remains, the standard reading at Good Friday services.

Therefore, it is only on an occasional basis that we make the exception of reading the account of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem as the gospel lesson for Palm Sunday. The reason for making this exception at all is to give a more careful treatment to the signifi-cance of Jesus’ entry into the Holy city, and to allow the events of our Lord’s final week to unfold before us in dramatic relief.

Of course, it goes without saying, that the only way this can hap-pen is if Christians make a special effort to be present for our special Holy Week services. Thus, Holy Week begins on Sunday, April 13, and continues with the Maundy Thursday service on April 17th, at 7pm. Maundy Thursday looks back to Jesus’ last meal with his disciples and his final instruction to them, prior to his capture and execution. This is a crucial observance for Chris-tians each year, as we remember our Lord’s institution of Holy Communion. On the following day (April 18), our members have five opportunities to be gathered into God’s house, as we adore Christ Jesus’ holy cross and hear the mystery of our salvation. We will be offering the following services on Good Friday: Sta-tions of the Cross for children at 10am, Stations of the Cross from 12p through 12:45p, Adoration of the Holy Cross with preaching from 1p through 1:45p, Stations of the Cross from 2p through 2:45p, and Tenebrae beginning at 7pm.

To my dismay, many congregations have abandoned their sta-tion at the Cross in recent years, by discontinuing noon to three worship services. Frequently, Christians will complain that three hours is far too long to sit in church. This is one of the reasons why I am beyond weary of listening to Christians complain about

community to bring the word of the Love of Jesus Christ to the Menomonie community, we can help to support them with gifts and prayer.

Your financial contributions to Calvary’s Mission of the Month during March go to support the ministry of the New Life Lutheran Church. Use your weekly offering en-velopes or a white pew enve-lope to contribute and note “Mission of the Month” on your check and/or envelope.

During the month of March, Calvary has partnered with New Life Lutheran Church , a mission congregation in the NALC, to support them both financially and in prayer. New Life Lutheran Church cele-brated it's first worship ser-vice on February 27, 2011 at the River Heights Elementary School in Menomonie, Wis-consin. Their membership is growing and they have added a Sunday School program as well as Confirmation classes. Dr. Roy Harrisville serves as pastor.

The focus of the congregation at this time is to continue to grow membership and at-tendance at worship ser-vices. They continue to rent space for their Worship Ser-vices and Sunday School pro-gram and are developing a building fund for the eventual construction of a Worship Center. They are looking at suitable land in the area for the construction of such a center.

discipleship, that they will be interested in what we say we value. For the sake of the spiritual well-being of our members, we need to acknowledge that Little League clubs require more of their members than most congregations expect from disciples. To that end, I en-courage each of our mem-bers to heed our Lord’s call to hear His Word and to receive the gifts that your Father delights in giving you through His Son.

Easter This year, we will be offering three Easter services: Satur-day, April 19, at 5pm; and Sunday, April 20, at 6:30am and 9:00am. Each of these services will be the same, except that the special musi-cal offerings will be unique to each service. You will notice that in Genesis 1, we learn that the day begins at evening rather than morning – hence the repeated phrase “And there was evening and

the secularization of our cul-ture. I give very little thought to the secularization of American society, because I am too overcome with grief over the secularization of the American Church. It is ludi-crous to hear Christians whine about the banks and grocery stores not closing between noon and three, when the Christians them-selves do not flock to the churches during that same period of time. We expect others to honor our religious traditions, when we our-selves let them go. While congregations are dealing with very poor attendance by their members at mid-week Advent services, many Christians are waging some kind of a culture war to “put Christ back into Christmas.” I am convinced that it is only when the world sees trans-formed lives and the com-mitment that Christians have for growing in their

(Continued from page 2) there was morning, the first day. . .” etc. (Genesis 1:5ff). Thus, it is not inappropriate for us to proclaim the Lord’s Resurrection at our Saturday evening service that week-end. While there has been a resurgence of the keeping of the Easter Vigil among Lu-therans in the last 20+ years, the majority of persons who regularly attend our Satur-day evening service cannot attend Sunday morning ser-vices, and so this is an op-portunity for them to cele-brate Easter here at Calvary.

There are many spiritual benefits to be had in keep-ing the observances of Holy Week and Easter, and I pray that through the hearing of God’s Word in these special services that the Holy Spirit will further His work of sanc-tification in you.

In Christ Jesus,

Pastor

S.T.A.R.

The Mission District had a balance of $11,510 as of January 11, 2014. The committee dis-cussed and voted to spend $11,100 and sup-port the following activities:

$2400 New Life Church, Menomonie

$2400 Gift of Grace Church, Holmen

$3600 Holy Cross Mission start church in Fond du Lac

$900 District Seminarian support

$1000 Ukraine Church Schools

$400 Compassion International (clean water systems)

$400 Lebanon Church School

Each of the members discussed activities that occurred in their churches since the August Mission District Convocation.

The 2014 Mission District Convocation will be held October 11th in Bark River, MI. Pastor Gemechis Buba will be the potential speaker.

Respectfully Submitted, Rich Bloomberg Executive Committee member

The committee, consisting of the Dean, 3 Pas-tors and 3 lay church members, met January 11, 2014 in Wausau, WI.

The NALC Mission Districts are coordinating Congregational Disaster Response Teams with the Missouri Lutheran Church Synod. The activity will cover both short and long term assistance to affected areas. Three planning sessions are scheduled across the U.S. during the fall of 2014. This activity is initiated to include religious support and aid which is basi-cally ignored or banned by most aid organiza-tions.

There is some preliminary national NALC con-sideration to establish a small seminary in California which would be a low cost, basically internet focused, activity with approved NALC pastors and professors. This activity is being considered at the request of numerous churches in the western area of the country because they conduct a more informal type of worship service when compared to the rest of the country.

And where would I be without You

I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay

I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way

I'd be building my kingdom just to watch it fade away

It's true

That's me without You

Don’t know where I'd be without You
