The Symbols of Lent The observance of the season of Lent first appeared between 200 – 300 AD. The term Lent comes from the Anglo-Saxon world lencten, which means ‘springtime’. The season of Lent spans 40 weekdays beginning on Ash Wednesday and climaxing during Holy Week with Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday), Good Friday, and concluding Saturday before Easter. Since Sundays celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, the six Sundays that occur during Lent are not counted as part of the 40 days of Lent.
Originally, Lent was the time of preparation for those who were to be baptized, a time of concentrated study and prayer before their bap-tism at the Easter Vigil, the celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord early on Easter Sunday. But since these new members were to be received into a living community of Faith, the entire community was called to preparation. Following the model of Jesus’ time in the wilderness, new adult converts practiced Lenten penance and prayer for forty days.
Today, Lent calls us to look back on the impact of our baptism on our lives. How are we doing, we who have died to sin and come alive to new life in Christ? In repentance we ask our Lord to clear our lives of sin. Lent is therefore marked in the Christian church by a time of prayer, especially helping those in physical need with food and clothing, or simply the giving of money to charities.
The more visible symbols of Lent begin with the ashes on Ash Wednesday. The cross-shaped smudge of ashes received on our foreheads becomes a solemn, public reminder of our mortality and repentance. Ashes are made from using the Palms from the previous Palm Sunday, illustrating the circle of the Church Year. The Palms used on Palm Sunday comes from the ancient Jewish and Roman symbol of victory and is used in triumphal processions and for decorations.
Other symbols in the life of the church is the fact that there is none – the worship space is usually stripped of all extra decorations, flowers are not adorning the altar, and the joyful singing of
‘alleluia’ is removed from hymns and choir anthems and replaced with contemplative music and song.
Perhaps the most common symbols of Lent are the colours. The usual colour of Lent is purple, which is a colour representing repentance. Black, the symbol of sin, death and darkness, is used on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday and scarlet, used in Mosaic purification rituals as well as used to describe sin, is used on Palm/Passion Sunday to reflect on the Passion story of Jesus’ suffering and death that is read that day.
What would it be for Lutheran’s to speak of a church season and not mention food? There are two items associated with the season of Lent – hot cross buns and pretzels. Hot cross buns was developed for the season as meat and eggs were not allowed. The marking of the cross is a reminder of the season. Pretzels were developed in Germany to be eaten on fast day as they are made of only flour, salt and water and shaped in the form of arms folded in prayer.
However, the symbols of Lent are not just visible ones. The number of days itself 40 (as in the 40 days of Lent) is connected with many biblical events, but especially with the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness preparing for his ministry by facing the temptations that could lead him to abandon his mission and calling. (Matthew 4:1-11).
Now, before we begin the season of Lent there is Shrove Tuesday. Since Lent was a time of discipline and fasting, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the day before this began became a feast! Lenten diets were to avoid as much as possible rich food (fats and oils).
Historically, the household oils had to be used up before Lent because they would not keep. This idea gave birth to Shrove Tuesday celebrations. In Germany “Fastnachts’ (the night before the fast). In France “Mardi Gras’ (Fat Tuesday). In Latin countries “Carnivale’ (Farewell to meat). In England this meant Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday. The dictionary defines “Shrive” as to forgive. Pr. Krister Ulmanis

Reminders for Kitchen Use As you may know, our kitchens at FEELC are licensed with the state as commercial kitchens. It is this license which allows us to rent our kitchens to outside vendors making the license an asset for the church. This is an important asset to maintain. The county health department rout inel y i nsp ect s com m erci a l k i tchens. I learned a lot from our inspector this fall and it is good information to share. I’ve summarized a few things from the inspection that everyone who uses the kitchen must know and follow to maintain our license.
-Wash your hands! When you arrive at the kitchen to cook or prepare food your first stop should be the hand washing sink. Wash your hands again if your hands become unclean (i.e. handle money, pick something up off the floor, touch a dirty plate).
-Wear gloves when handling food. Both of our kitchens are stocked with gloves. For example if you are serving food, you must wear gloves. If your gloves become unclean, put on new gloves. Before putting on gloves, whether it’s your first pair of gloves or your fourth, wash your hands.
-Use a three step process when washing dishes/pot/pans by hand. Wash, rinse and sanitize. There are sanitizing tablets in each kitchen with directions for use on the bottle. Dishes/pots/pans need to be air-dried.
-Leave the kitchen as clean as you found it or cleaner if need be. Many FEELC groups and some outside groups use our kitchens and we all need to do our part to keep them clean!
-If you leave something in the fridge, label it with a date and whom it belongs to or what event it is for. The refrigerators are periodically cleaned and unlabeled items may be thrown away.
-If one of our renters is using the kitchen, please respect the time they have scheduled in the kitchen. It’s OK to ask to get something out of the fridge or cupboard but you should not disturb their cooking process.
Thank you for helping the church to maintain a clean and safe kitchen environment! Should you notice anything in the kitchens that need attention, let me know!

Update-Senior Pastor Call Process The Call committee is meeting once or twice per week reviewing candidate profiles and interviewing candidates. We have had a continuous list of candidates provided from the Synod, referrals from members, and referrals from other pastors. We have learned a great deal about how other congregations are managing the same types of issues we have at First English, from the pastors we have interviewed. We feel God leading us down the path to the right Pastor, but also using the process to teach us about our own congregation while we get to know the pastors that we interview. We are getting excellent support from Pastor Holland at the South Eastern Michigan Synod Office. Pastor Ulmanis is also a tremendous help to the committee with his experience helping other congregations in transitions, and a blessing to have supporting the congregation’s day to day activities. So far, the committee has: Reviewed 40 candidate profiles Considered 20 candidates for telephone or video
conversations Removed 8 candidates because they are in discussion
with other congregations. Had telephone or video conversations with 6
candidates as a committee. Removed 3 candidates after initial discussions with
them. Had one decline to be considered after video
conversation. Have 2 under consideration after initial conversations
and one “in-person” interview. Have 3 video conversations with three new candidates
scheduled in March. Please pray with us for the Lord's to guide us in our mission to find and call the right Pastor to lead our congregation. We have confidence and faith than He will. God's Peace,
First English Call Committee.

Dear Members and Friends of First English, For over ten years our organ technician has warned me that the leather and electronic components of our magnificent pipe organ were beginning to fail. On October 19, 2014 we kicked off a campaign during our worship services to raise the necessary funds to restore our organ with a goal of raising the funds by the end of 2014.
It is with awe and gratitude that I can report to you that as of January 20, 2015, $301,497 has been raised. There have been many contributors who have made significant monetary sacrifices to contribute to this major goal, and, for that, I am overwhelmingly thankful. I am so proud to be part of a congrega-tion that values the significance of our pipe organ and the role it plays in our worship life. The First English members have proven time and time again that they generously support endeavors they feel are important to our congregation. I am excited to know that we will now be able to proceed with the restoration, which will begin shortly this year. With grateful appreciation, Robert Foster, Coordinator of Music

9:30a.m. ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his “95 Theses” to the church door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg Germany. Historians have assigned this event as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Thus in 2017 we will celebrate the 500 Anniversary of the Reformation. Our Presiding Bishop, Elizabeth Eaton, has suggested that, as we look forward to that celebration, we study Luther’s Small Catechism. She points out that “it could be argued that no other experience is more universally Lutheran than studying Luther’s Small Catechism.”
So, our Adult Sunday School Class for this fall will be an overview of Luther’s Small Catechism. Not only will this give us an opportunity to celebrate our Lutheran Heritage, but Luther’s Catechism is also an excellent review of the basics of the Christian Faith!
We have a nice size group on Sunday mornings, but we would love to have YOU join us as well. Our sessions meet during the Sunday School Hour, 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. in the Lounge.
Thursday morning Bible Study.
We will be studying the book of Job.

Children’s Offerings for LWR Please visit http://lwrgifts.org/ to see how the Sun-day School children will use their offerings. They have raised over $100 this year — enough to do-nate a goat! In parts of the world where food supply is precarious, a hearty goat can survive, giving milk that nourishes and sells. This goat can feed a family in Latin America, Africa, or Asia, not just
for one day, but for a lifetime. Parents, please remind your children to bring an offering each week. Every little bit counts!
What We’re Learning This Month As we continue our Lenten preparations, pre-school through fifth grade are learning about what took place during “Holy Week and Easter.” Hope to see you each Sunday at 9:30am to celebrate the ultimate sacrifice and amazing triumph of our Risen Savior!
Middle school will take a look at two different topics this month. The first focuses on “The Life of Je-sus” and the things that he did. The second focuses on how we can share these things with others via “Evangelism.” Join us this month to see how YOU can be a shining light for Jesus!
Palm Sunday Egg Hunt Children in 5th Grade and below are invited to take part in an Easter Egg Hunt on Palm Sunday, March 29th, at 10:30am. The hunt will take place on the front lawn if the weather is fine or in the gym if other-wise. Come decorate a bag and celebrate the empty tomb with some treat-filled eggies!
