May day!” Then, on the first day of the 5 th month of the year, our grade school teachers taught us we were supposed to take baskets of flowers to our elderly neighbors or grandparents (May Baskets) for “May Day.” It is an interesting dual set of meanings. I checked the dictionary (yes, a real one with pages and everything; I love a good dictionary that tells you where the words come from!) and the “international radio-telephone signal used by airplanes and ships in distress” comes from a French phrase that sounds the same as (m’aider) “help me.” This spring, those two meanings have come into a blended meaning for me.

Mayday on this May Day!” The witness of Genesis, the first book of the stories of God’s interaction with humanity, is that it is our business to be caretakers, stewards, of this earth. The waters and air, the land and all its life are entrusted to us. That trust comes with the promise of abundant blessings. It also comes with the call for deep responsibility. When you merge that call of God with the reminder of God to care for the poor, the wounded, to minister with loving and living service to the “least of these” (Jesus in Matthew 25:31-43) you have a discipleship ethic that ought to result in a careful cultivation of life in the world in our care. It is often the “least of these” , the poor, the refugees, the marginal- ized, who are most at risk and the most vulnerable to the destruction of our lands, air and waters. (It is important to be aware; Christianity is not the only spiritual path that emphasizes this kind of care for creation.) So, if that is what our Creator intends, how is it we find so many ways to pollute, foul, destroy, maim, extinct, abuse, degrade, and exploit the earthly womb that is designed to give us life? Human sin is a powerful destructive force to be sure. Human sin manifested in greed and selfishness, love for money and disregard for the lives of others is indeed the root of much decay. But if the Lord who has saved us, calls us to serve this world, why do we fail? One of the most perplexing failures is how some of our brothers and sisters who claim allegiance to Jesus and the Bible are so certain that Jesus’ return will remove them from this worldly mess that they care little for the harm we cause. The dream of the promised “new heaven and new earth” seems to remove any sense of responsibility from the prac- tices of these faith siblings, so that they support the politics and businesses that are the very worst exploiters of our common home. There was a time when this congregation stood more forcefully in defense of our natu- ral world. Our larger church, through ELCA Churchwide and almost every geographical Synod, has not lost that emphasis, constantly encouraging congregations and individual believers in practices and advocacy for the renewal and protection of our environment. I urge us to re-join that journey as a community of faith. Our sisters and brothers of Zion Lutheran here in Cloquet have continued to seek creative ways to respond to the growing crisis and to encourage each other in vigorous action, practical and political, to keep creation care as a core focus of ministry and mission. Their current project establishing a “Community Garden” is one such emphasis. They have invited us to be active participants in this and other projects. Thrivent is a constant source of supportive funding. The Walk for Water, they invited us to join on April 30, is another example of the creative ways all of us can become more aware and active in our stewardship of this earth.

Our Savior’s Shared Journey

“MAY DAY!”

When I was a kid, the term “May Day” had two meanings. One came from the old war movies, when a ship or airplane was in trouble, they would radio to someone… ANYone…

for help: “May day! May day!” Then, on the first day of the 5th month of the year, our grade school teachers taught us we were supposed to take baskets of flowers to our elderly neighbors or grandparents (May Baskets) for “May Day.” It is an interesting dual set of meanings. I checked the dictionary (yes, a real one with

pages and everything; I love a good dictionary that tells you where the words come from!) and the “international radio-telephone signal used by airplanes and ships in distress” comes from a French phrase that sounds the same as (m’aider) “help me.” This spring, those two meanings have come into a blended meaning for me. As the natural world around us refreshes itself again, re-grows and re-news in the annual cycle,

more and more of that nature seems to be calling out to us in distress: “m’aider; help me! Mayday on this May Day!” The witness of Genesis, the first book of the stories of God’s interaction with humanity, is that it is our business to be caretakers, stewards, of this earth. The waters and air, the land and all its life are entrusted to us. That trust comes with the promise of abundant blessings.

It also comes with the call for deep responsibility. When you merge that call of God with the reminder of God to care for the poor, the wounded, to minister with loving and living service to the “least of these” (Jesus in Matthew 25:31-43) you have a discipleship ethic that ought to result in a careful cultivation of life in the world in our care. It is often the “least of these” , the poor, the refugees, the marginal-

ized, who are most at risk and the most vulnerable to the destruction of our lands, air and waters. (It is important to be aware; Christianity is not the only spiritual path that emphasizes this kind of care for creation.) So, if that is what our Creator intends, how is it we find so many ways to pollute, foul, destroy, maim, extinct, abuse, degrade, and exploit the earthly womb that is designed to

The Yellow “Caution” Card Many of you have already responded to the request to let the Church Office know how you want to continue to receive this Messenger each month. Thank you! Thank you! If you have already let the Office know, you do not need to do so again. The cards will be included again this month in an effort to get as complete a re-sponse as possible. The choices include:

Continuing to receive the Messenger by mail. We have and use a bulk mailing permit that makes this fairly economical and our copier/duplicator equipment pro-vide us with a very efficient cost per copy price. A wonderful crew of volunteers helps Connie get this task done each month.

Send the Messenger by email. It is virtually free to have the Messenger delivered to your “in-box.” It will come more quickly to your household, as this is sent out as soon as the edits are complete. The process of print-ing/collating/mailing adds a couple of days to the time frame.

You can pick-up a copy at the Church. There have al-ways been a number of copies of the Messenger printed and made available in a couple of locations in the church for visitors, non-members and others who may be interested. If necessary, the office can be sure there are plenty of copies to supplement this supply.

If we do not hear from you, we will assume you will pick it up.

Thank you for your willingness to supply this information. We will continue to serve the needs for your connection to your church’s ministry information in the most efficient ways possible.

Thank you, to everyone who helped make the 2017 Easter Breakfast a success!

NEW HORIZONS CHRISTIAN PRESCHOOL NEWS

I am not sure I know where this past year has flown. It is hard to believe we are in our last month of the school year. When I look back to Septem-ber, it seems like it would take so long to get to May and here we are already. Our last month is so full of so many fun activities to experience. We have sung at Evergreen Knoll for everyone there. We have returned to the Sunny Side Nursing Home to sing and talk with the people we met in January. We have had several field trips and been outside as much as possible discovering the signs of spring. We have been so blessed with you our church fam-ily this year. We have enjoyed singing for you and sharing God's love. Thank you for all your care you have showed to us and our children during this ex-citing time of their lives. We look forward to this last month here and hope to see each of you of-ten. Our Graduation and Spring Program is May 25th in the evening. You are all invited to attend.

Thera, Angel and all the Children

Shiny paper recycling Remember to bring in your old magazines to recycle. All

the profits go to our New Horizons Christian Preschool.

They are accepting white paper too! There is a bin under

the bulletin board in the Narthex. It can also be brought to

the Preschool area.

Greetings from the Preschool, "And whatever you do, in word or deed, do every-thing in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17 This past school year has been amazing and won-derful! We have been blessed with twenty different children who we have taught and shown the love of God. In preparing for next year, God has shown me that our Preschool is thriving. I have already been signing up children for next year, even before our open house in May! God is moving and blessing the Preschool. I give God the glory and without Him, none of this would be possible :) May is an exciting month for the Preschool. We go on many different field trips and spend lots of time playing outside! On Thursday, May 11th from 5-7 pm is our Open House. If you know of anyone that is interested, please pass on our information. Also, if the open house date does not work for some families, we are very open to giving a scheduled tour on an-other day. Please just call the Preschool (879-7138) or email Angel Gamache at [email protected] to schedule a tour or receive more information. Lastly, we have our Preschool Graduation on Thursday, May 25th at 6:30 pm. Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate what the children have learned and to see how much they have grown! It truly is a wonderful night! Thank you to everyone that keeps us in your prayers and offers us words of encouragement. I am very blessed to be working for the Preschool and love interacting with our families and the children. God is so good!

In God's Hands, Angel Gamache

CHRISTMAS CARDS Do not throw your cards away. We use these for pro-jects at the preschool. Drop them off in the office or stop in at the preschool. Thank you so very much.

If Clo-quet schools are closed or have a 2 hour late start, New Ho-rizons’ Christian Preschool is closed for the day.

Prayer Chain Please call the Church office with your prayer chain requests.

SIMPLY GIVING

For those of you who use Simply Giving for your offering, there are pink cards available in the pews for you to use. How it works: To show your support of using Simply Giving, place the card in the offering plate. It’s that easy. This gives other members a visual and reminder of the Simply Giving program. If you are not enrolled in Simply Giving, and would like to be, there are forms in the office, in the Narthex, and on our Church website. www.oursaviorscloquet.org

This is our 67th year of radio broadcasts on

WKLK!!

OUR SAVIORS CUPS FOR SALE Cups with the new Our Saviors logo are available for sale for $10 in the Fair Trade Store. Some have told us

that $10 is a bit expensive; however, the cups cost almost $6 to make, and this is a fundraiser.

Thank you to all who purchase cups! The Evangelism Team

Are you interested in receiving the Messenger via email and not the postal service?

Call Connie in the office at 879-1535 and give her your preferred email address. This option saves Our Savior’s

paper, printing, and postage costs!

Please contact the church office when you or a loved one are hospitalized or when a death occurs so we can support and care for you or

your loved one.

If you do not wish to use the regular coffee cups when serving coffee, there are paper cups in the metal cabinet in the kitchen. Please use

Styrofoam ONLY when absolutely necessary. Be Kind To The Environment.
