HE IS RISEN, INDEED!

Easter joy is still upon us as April showers turn to May flowers. (Was

up North, anyway?) Thanks to all who worked so hard to celebrate

Lent, Holy Week, and Easter. May I mention Penny Morken and

Connee Zeman who directed our passion drama on Palm Sunday,

April 9th. (See page 10.) As one of our members said, “This is

getting better and better every year!” Thanks to the cast who did

both services. Thanks to megan and all who shared their music on

Easter.

As we continue to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the

Reformation , our Thursday Bible class watched “Rick Steeves’ Luther and the

Reformation”. The Reformation - even if you’re not a Lutheran - is a very big deal.

Rick Steeves wrote: As 2017 approached, I wanted to contribute to our society’s

appreciation of this event on its 500th anniversary. My Mission: to produce an hour

long documentary that would be useful for Lutheran churches, other Protestant

denominations, Roman catholic churches, and also secular media.” Our church has

a copy of this disk and you may borrow it. Call the church office, if interested.

NEW MEMBERS

Listed in this newsletter (pages 8 & 9), are our new members who joined on Easter

Sunday. This is always exciting, but this group of fourteen includes four little

children. What an amazing blessing. Next New Member Sunday will be July 23,

2017. I would be happy to talk to you about the Lutheran Church and the Christian

faith. Please call my cell phone: 239-687-6580.

PENTECOST SUNDAY

Sunday, June 4th, is the birthday of the Church and the infusion of the Holy Spirit

into our lives and into our Church. May we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit with

gusto! Wear red!

Thanks for your prayers for successful hernia surgery on April 20th. I’m on the mend

and hope to play golf again soon.

Alleluia - Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!

Peace,

Pastor Doug

MAKING THE MOST OF OUR RESOURCES . . .

The Pledge . . . . . I have heard it said that a “financial gift” is more important than a “pledge.” Spiritually, on the face of it, “that is most certainly true.” But let’s look deeper. What does making a Pledge do? It provides for a church to be able to plan how the gift will be used. It provides confidence that we all believe we are moving in the right direction. It sends a message that we are able to support the mission of the church beyond our community. A Pledge is like the “ribbon on a present.” It says our church has something special inside. Let us all be “Beacons of Light”, and let us strengthen our community of faith.

Chuck Keller, Stewardship Chair

Respond-Rebuild-Rejoice!

You have responded, many thanks! We met our goal of the matching funds! Now we are in the process of obtaining estimates for carpeting, Narthex improvements, and seal coating the parking lots. With it being Florida, it takes time and patience to get companies to respond. We have installed one camera for security which covers the entrance from the inside. This equipment can be expanded with additional

cameras as needed. You will be updated on a regular basis as we make progress on our facilities improvements. Have a great summer and keep Shepherd of the Glades in your prayers.

Don Bassett, LOL Chairperson

On Maundy Thursday, April 13, there was a service in the Sanctuary with foot washing and Holy Communion at tables, reenacting the Lord’s Supper, with Pastor Lyberg and Pastor Doug. On Good Friday, April 14, there was a Tenebrae Service of Darkness, where people spoke on the “Seven Last Words of Christ”, extinguishing one candle after each word, closing the service in complete darkness.

Thanks to Pastor Lyberg, who assisted in the Maundy Thursday worship. Thanks also to Judy Kobs, Penny Morken, and Paul Smith, who spoke in the Good Friday Tenebrae Service of Darkness.

Also in attendance was Pastor Douglas Wahlberg. Absent was Pat Cumor. Devotions were given by Carole Graesser. In a motion by Ron Modjeska and seconded by Linda Tidmore, the minutes of the March meeting were approved as corrected. The stewardship report should have read: 70% of members who pledged in 2016 increased their pledge in 2017. Pastor’s report: The week of August 27, 2017 will be added as vacation time for Pastor Wahlberg. John Burgbacher will be the substitute pastor. His hernia repair will take place on April 20, 2017.

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES . . .

A little boy asked after attending Sunday School what he had learned. The little boy said, I learned that God's name is "Harold". Harold.....asked his mom ? Who told you God's name was Harold ? It says it right in the Bible.........Our father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name.
