We will seek God’s will, share God’s love, and serve as Christ’s people.
Christ Lutheran News May, 2019
A Mother’s Love
A Mother’s love is something That no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion And of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish
And enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it Or take that love away . . . It is patient and forgiving
When all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters
Even though the heart is breaking . . . It believes beyond believing
When the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty Of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining, It defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret Like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendored miracle Man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence Of God’s tender guiding hand.
~Helen Steiner Rice

Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has
welcomed you, for the glory of God. (Romans 15:7)
This past year I had the opportunity to celebrate my 50th high
school reunion in Sleepy Eye, while I was serving as an in-
terim at Trinity Lutheran, my home congregation. It was fun
to greet and to see class members, some who I hadn’t talked
with since graduation.
I invited all to Trinity’s worship service on Sunday, but the
local members of the class had their own congregation to at-
tend, others had already made plans for the day, but about half
on my confirmation class and one other accepted the invita-
tion. Long story short, one comment from the group was,
“What a welcoming congregation, how do you do that?”
Of course, it wasn’t anything that I had done that made the con-
gregation welcoming, that was already in place. It got me think-
ing however about the importance of “welcome”. The “welcome”
that people experience in congregation needs to be already in
place for the “stranger/guest” to experience it. It needs to be a pri-
ority. It must almost be second nature to each member of the con-
gregation. It cannot be just friendly or welcoming to the peo-
ple we already know.
Now if I asked people at random “Is Christ Lutheran a friendly
congregation?” What would the answer be? My guess is that
Christ Lutheran members are friendly with people they know but
not so much with guests or people they don’t know. I have wit-
nessed on numerous occasions guest/strangers being ignored, not
being engaged in conversation or invited to coffee after the ser-
vices. And I must ask, “Would I really want to be a part of such a
congregation?” Would you? Probably not.
The scriptures speak a great deal about welcoming others: wel-
coming the resident alien, welcoming the poor, the lonely, the
disposed and the oppressed for the sake of the welcome that we
all have received in Christ. Can we do any less?

The Interim Process
The work of the Call Committee has been fruitful. A name has been
surfaced and by the time that you will be reading this, it is possible
that it will be presented to a congregational vote. This however is
not the end of the transition process for Christ Lutheran Church.
The congregation and its members will be embarking on a new jour-
ney with a new pastoral leader. For many this is good news, for
some this journey will be difficult and upsetting. I have some con-
cerns about this transitional journey for the congregation. I have no-
ticed that a resistance to doing things differently. I can understand
some of that as an interim, “Why change anything for the interim
when we’ll just have to change it again for the real pastor.” I get
that and I’m okay with it. I went in as a “bulldozer” once and it was-
n’t a pleasant experience for anyone.
I sense however that resistance to change goes much deeper than
that at Christ Lutheran. I see groups and people doing the same
things over and over again, all the while expecting different results.
This is one of the reasons for short pastorates, the inability to accept
and process change.
As an intentional interim, this is one of the realities we see over and
over again, the desire for change and the inability to actually change.
Why? Because: change is difficult, change is a bit scary, change is a
bit humiliating if the change fails or goes sideways, change is con-
troversial because it will meet resistances. Yet unless such things are
not met head on and processed nothing new with ever happen, no
progress will ever take place.
There is a way forward:
1. Open and honest conversation about need and mission.
2. The management of one’s own anxiety.
3. Planning, planning, planning, planning.
4. Working the plan.
5. Evaluation in the context of need and mission.
6. Celebrating and Thanking those involved.
7. Repeat.

Sharing Our Time & Talents
We are already into the 2nd
quarter of 2019! Our schedules are filled with work, family and school activities. Also very important is our church family. As members of the Worship and Evangelism Committee meet to complete the list of helpers each month for the year, we find that we are using many of the same people to do the works of the church. It is our hope that this year will be different and that we will have some more people sign up to help with our church services. It takes many volunteers to have our services go smoothly. We know we have many capable and talented people in our congregation who are able to lend a hand during our wor-ship services. We ask that you prayerfully consider signing up to participate in one or more of the listed duties. It is a great way to meet others of our congregation and be in-volved in the workings of the church. Our committee mem-bers are available to train or explain the workings of each duty. A Time & Talent Survey is available in the church narthex during services and online on the church website showing the positions where people are needed to help to ensure that our worship services run smoothly. We ask that all members fill out the Time & Talent List. Please include your current phone numbers. Thank you for your consideration to participate. Feel free to contact any-one on our committee with your questions. May God bless you for sharing your time and talents, The Worship & Evangelism Committee:
Randi Stoel, Tim Lange, Sue Isder, Joan Kluis, Ann Muecke, Irene Moline

A Memorial Day Prayer Memorial Day was first observed on May 30, 1868, when flowers were placed at the graves of Union and Confeder-ate soldiers. On this day we honor all who have died in ser-vice of our nation. Dear God our Father,
Your word tells us, "Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build. Unless the LORD guard the city, in vain does the guard keep watch" (Psalm 127:1).
Thank You for those who have guarded not only our cities, but our country, allies, and many other communities from unjust and unprincipled aggressors. On this Memorial Day, with a solemn and sacred spirit, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women in our Armed Forces who gave up their lives for their fellow Americans at home and abroad. Many were young and many were married, with their loved ones praying for them back home; but they were each fighting to protect the freedom we enjoy when they were called to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Dear God, please bless our he-roes and heroines with Your mercy, grace, and peace. Bless also their families and friends. May Your perpetual light shine upon them; and may their souls and the souls of all our faithful departed rest in peace. In Jesus' name.
Amen.
