Staff Reflections Reflections from The Word This year our Family of Believers has been moving through reading plans and goals. I confess; my own goals and plans have been much slower and intermi ent than I would have preferred. In spite of all that, God has shown me lots. This experience of walking through God’s Word brought me to some interes ng passages like this: From Ezekiel 3:3, ‘Son of Man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it. Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey.’ Ea ng Scripture is quite an interes ng analogy. (this is an analogy people, don’t eat your Bibles!) We read and inwardly digest this Word, it does as any food would a body. We are nourished. We are fed. We are sa sfied. We are given life itself. The Word slowly changes us from starving wretches, to the nourished and fed children of the heavenly Father. Another verse that caused me to pause was this: Isaiah 64:8 says, ‘But now, O Lord, you are our Father; We are the clay, and you are our po er; we are all the works of your hand.’ As I reflect on this ac vity year, I can’t help but look back and ask the ques on of how God has been shaping me. How has He been molding me into His new crea on, day by day. As the school year winds down, students may be wondering the same thing. How has God been shaping me? As you are nearing the comple on of your me in the workforce… how has God shaped me? How is He con nuing to shape me? These are not easy ques ons to answer! Gaining the right perspec ve to answer this might not happen this side of heaven. Aspects of your molding into God’s perfect masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), can be seen over me and I hope you can gain some perspec ve and appreciate the work of the Master’s hands.

In Loving Memory... LYNETTE JEAN MILLER Lynette was born on December 5, 1942, in Finlayson, Minnesota, to Albert and Leona Miller. On January 10, 1943, she was given The Perfect Gift when God claimed her as His daughter and gave to her an inheritance that would never spoil or fade in the Waters of Baptism. As a young girl, she moved to Dodge Center and graduated from West Concord High School in 1960. After a brief time working for Park Hill Bros Automotive shop, she began working for Rochester Public Schools and retired from there after over forty years of faithful service. Lynette and Lynora joined the Redeemer Lutheran Church family in 1963. The two were inseparable. Countless children, youth, and their parents know Jesus as their Perfect Gift because of all He did through them. Lynette was a friend to many and her positive spirit was contagious. On April 9, 2018, at the age of 75, Lynette passed away in the arms of her Savior. In her memory, let us daily receive The Perfect Gift of our Savior through His Word and Sacraments and then give that gift to our next generation.
COOKIES, COOKIES, COOKIES The Rochester Servant Event, June 10-13, is in need of cookie donations for lunches. We are planning on approximately 150 workers for three days of lunches. Each person gets two cookies a day in their lunch. This means we need 75 dozen or 900 cookies! We are hoping that you can help us with cookie donations! The cookies can be homemade or purchased. Because of allergies, we ask for no cookies with peanut butter or nuts. There is a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Center. Please sign up and indicate how many dozen you are willing to donate. Please plan to bring them to the North Fellowship Hall by Sunday, June 11. Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

South Fellowship Hall It’s time to enjoy a good movie and some great fellowship. Grab your slippers, a comfy chair, and some change for pizza and pop and join us as we watch… WE’RE NO ANGELS – 1955 This has a Christmas theme but it was requested so we will see it now and not wait until the Christmas season. Humphrey Bogart plays one of his rare comedy roles along with Albert (Aldo Ray) and Jules (Peter Ustinov) who are planning their escape from Devil’s Island. They hide out in a family home pretending to be handy men. Felix Ducotel (Leo G. Carroll) manages a store for his demanding cousin Andre’ (Basil Rathbone) who decides to make a fatal mistake of stealing Albert’s beloved pet, a poisonous snake. For the Ducotels, it will be a Christmas to remember, shared with a trio of rogues who turn out to be three “Wise Men” after all. Our second film will be one of my favorite musicals “Guys and Dolls.”

CHANNEL ONE FOOD DRIVE SUMMARY Dear Friends at Redeemer Lutheran Church, THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the 2018 Minnesota Food Share March Campaign for Channel One a success! This campaign relies on many hands – and many hearts ‐ for it to succeed. Thank you for contribu ng your hands and hearts to help feed people in need in our community. Because of you, this year was the highest one yet! Congratula ons! Together, we raised $171,809 and collected 297,828 pounds of food for a grand total of 469,636 pounds and dollars, which exceeds our450,000 goal and is actually higher than last year’s total. You and the many other organiza ons that hosted special food and fund drives this past month are changing lives! Your extra efforts are so important to individuals and families facing food insecurity in our area. Your team at Redeemer Lutheran Church contributed 507 pounds and $1418 for the Channel One Supplemental Food Shelf. Channel One can turn $1 into enough food for four meals, and your contribu ons will help feed the 3,400 households that use the Channel One Supplemental Food Shelf each month. With 13,000 people living in Olmsted County who are food insecure, your efforts impact many lives. Channel One Regional Food Bank is so grateful for your generosity and compassion for people in need. Thank you for helping end hunger! Sincerely, Barbara Schramm Channel One Community Engagement Coordinator

The Gospel In Seven Words
The results of our Lenten Series are in. This was the culmina on of all of our prepara on, worship, prayer, and fellowship. As we prepared for Easter, we also prepared to share the reason for the hope that we have in Christ Jesus with others in our lives (I Peter 3:15). And just like Easter doesn’t really “end”, neither does our joy of sharing Jesus’ love with others. May that me and these results be a blessing to you as you con nue that work and witness to the Good News that we have because of our Savior’s great love for us.

Health Notes
May:NationalStrokeAwarenessMonth Stroke is the fi h leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of serious disability for adults. About 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke each year. Stroke is treatable. Learn the signs of stroke, and call 9‐1‐1 right away if you think someone might be having a stroke. Ge ng fast treatment is important to preven ng death and disability from stroke. Stroke is preventable. You may be able to prevent stroke or lower your chances of having a stroke.
STROKE STATISTICS Stroke kills about 140,000 Americans each year—that’s 1 out of every 20
deaths. Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. Every 4
minutes, someone dies of stroke. Every year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke.
About 610,000 of these are first or new strokes. About 185,000 strokes—nearly 1 of 4—are in people who have had a previous
stroke.. Stroke is a leading cause of serious long‐term disability. Stroke reduces
mobility in more than half of stroke survivors age 65 and over.
By knowing the signs and symptoms of stroke, you can take quick ac on and perhaps save a life—maybe even your own:
SIGNS OF STROKE IN MEN AND WOMEN Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side
of the body Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordina on Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Call 9‐1‐1 right away if you or someone else has any of these symptoms. During a stroke, every minute counts!
Fast treatment can lessen the brain damage that stroke can cause.
ACT F.A.S.T. F—Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? A—Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm dri downward? S—Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange? T—Time: If you see any of these signs, call 9‐1‐1 right away. (con nued on the next page) Do not drive to the hospital or let someone else drive you. Stroke pa ents who
Who are Stephen Ministers? Stephen Ministers are members of Redeemer who have gone through 50 hours of training in providing high-quality Christian care to individuals experiencing a crisis or challenge such as divorce, loss of job, hospitalization, relocation, or loneliness. Stephen Ministers are each assigned to a care receiver and meet with that person for about an hour per week. Stephen Ministers are servants of Jesus who seek to bring Christ’s healing love and peace into a person’s life in a loving, non-judgmental way through their caring relationships. If you would like more information on how to become a Stephen Minister or to receive care from one, please contact either:

are taken to the hospital in an ambulance may get diagnosed and treated more quickly than people who do not arrive in an ambulance. This is because emergency treatment starts on the way to the hospital. Note the me when any symptoms first appear. This informa on helps health care providers determine the best treatment for each person. Do not drive to the hospital or let someone else drive you. Call an ambulance so that medical personnel can begin life‐saving treatment on the way to the emergency room.
PREVENTION High blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and diabetes are leading causes of stroke. If you have any of these condi ons you can take steps to lower your risk for stroke. Choose a Healthy Diet
1. Choosing healthy meal and snack op ons can help you prevent stroke. Be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
2. Ea ng foods low in saturated fats, trans fat, and cholesterol and high in fiber can help prevent high cholesterol. Limi ng salt (sodium) in your diet can also lower your blood pressure. High cholesterol and high blood pressure increase your chances of having a stroke.
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Being overweight or obese increases your risk for stroke. Physical Ac vity: Physical ac vity can help you stay at a healthy weight and lower your cholesterol and blood pressure
levels. For adults, the Surgeon General recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate‐intensity aerobic physical ac vity, such as a brisk walk, each week. Children and teens should get 1 hour of physical ac vity every day.
No Smoking: smoking greatly increases your chances of having a stroke. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke, qui ng will lower your risk for stroke. Your doctor can suggest ways to help you quit.
Limited Alcohol: Avoid drinking too much alcohol, which can raise your blood pressure. Men should have no more than two drinks per day, and women only one.
Control Medical Condi ons: Talk with your doctor about steps you can take to lower your risk for stroke.
STROKE TREATMENT Calling 9‐1‐1 at the first symptom of stroke can help you get to the hospital in me for lifesaving stroke care. The key to stroke treatment and recovery is ge ng to the hospital quickly. Yet 1 in 3 stroke pa ents never calls 9‐1‐1. Calling an ambulance means that medical staff can begin life‐saving treatment on the way to the emergency room. The emergency workers may take you to a specialized stroke center to ensure that you receive the quickest possible diagnosis and treatment. The emergency workers will also collect valuable informa on that guides treatment and alert hospital medical staff before you arrive at the emergency room, giving them me to prepare. If you get to the hospital within 3 hours of the first symptoms of an ischemic stroke, you may get a type of medicine called a thromboly c (a “clot‐bus ng” drug known as tPA) to break up blood clots.
1. tPA improves the chances of recovering from a stroke. Studies show that pa ents with ischemic strokes who receive tPA are more likely to recover fully or have less disability than pa ents who do not receive the drug.
2. Pa ents treated with tPA are also less likely to need long‐term care in a nursing home. 3. Unfortunately, many stroke vic ms don’t get to the hospital in me for tPA treatment. This is why it’s so important
to recognize the signs and symptoms of stroke right away and call 9‐1‐1.

What you need to know about the Hearing Loop!
What is a Loop? A loop is basically a wire that emits magne c sound energy that is heard by a person wearing hearing aids with a telecoil func on.

Microphone worn by person talking 2. Loud speaker system or amplifier device 3. Special wire that is placed strategically around the
listening area 4. Hearing aid with a telecoil How do I use a Loop? 1. Turn your hearing aid to the “TELECOIL/LOOP”
program. (See below) 2. If needed, turn up/down your hearing aid volume 3. When done, switch your hearing aid back to the
“regular” program What if I hear a buzzing or humming? The humming sound might indicate any of the following: 1. You need to move a li le closer to the middle of the
room 2. The microphone/loop system is not turned on
properly 3. Your audiologist needs to adjust your hearing aid
loop program How do I know if my hearing aid has a loop program? 1. Ask your audiologist 2. If you do not currently have a loop program:
a. Ask if you have a telecoil inside the aid (not all aids do)
b. Ask to add a loop program (push bu on or app on cell)
c. Ask the audiologist to teach you how to use it + prac ce
3. When it is me to purchase a new hearing aid, be sure it includes a telecoil func on inside of it.
What other op on do I have to listen to a loop? Some people who do not have hearing aids or do not have telecoil for loops in their hearing aids can borrow
a special listening device with a wire necklace and earphones. The wire necklace “catches” the telecoil signal and the earphones help you hear it. Ask an usher or office person if there is a device you can borrow. Where else might I find “loops”? Loops are common in some areas (like parts of Wisconsin, Michigan, down South, New York City, or Europe). In Minnesota, loops are just star ng to get more popular. Check out the LOOPMINNESOTA. ORG website for updated lists of places in your community. Some loops are around the floor in a room and some loops are a counter top model (like a clip board and microphone combina on). Look for the big blue ear with the “T” or “L” in the corner showing the area has a loop. Places you might find loops Churches Public Mee ng Areas Conference Rooms Theaters and Concert Halls Hospitals and Clinics Courtrooms Taxis (all in New York City are looped!) Airport Announcement Areas Check‐out lanes in stores (yes, even Publix has
them) Your own home! (Yes, you can loop your own TV
room!) What if I want help ge ng a loop installed in my community building or in my home? Ask your audiologist for a referral to a local
contractor with experience in installa on of commercial loops.
Harris Communica ons, based in the Twin Ci es, sells small, self‐install, and counter top models for small business or homes.
Midwest Hearing Loops, based also in the Twin Ci es, sells and installs a variety of loops for personal or community needs.

Stewardship: Your Response to God’s Love
FINANCIAL UPDATE March Budget Income: $97,437 YTD Income: $273,916 March Budget Expenses: $77,159 YTD Expenses: $275,321 Through the month of March, our over $13,000 deficit became only $1,405! I am thankful for the generosity of this Family of Believers. We see and trust in what God is doing here! Each month I am going to state why my family tithes 10% to this ministry. Easter Lilies! Last month our whole office hallway was filled with Easter Lilies. Project Compassion and a team of drivers hand delivers each one of these to our homebound and members in need. My family got one this year too. The joy, care, and love of Jesus our Risen Savior is passed on each of these visits. They remind our members, many of who cannot join us, that they are loved and prayed for part of this Family. That is a Family of Believers and a ministry that I want to support! Christ is Risen! - Pastor Koglin CONTRIBUTION STATEMENTS Contribution Statement for the first quarter of 2018, have been emailed to members who have made contributions during January, February, or March.

Radke Is it possible to designate some additional spots near
the building for elderly on Sunday mornings Curt Walter said that the spots cannot be marked

people to park further away if possible Tom Werle mentioned that the Elders are also
discussing this issue Will follow up next month Church Security: Molly Gommels Discussed security of people in and around the

Prayer #1 – Heavenly Father, We know while Jesus was here on earth He showed compassion every day to the poor and needy. In Isaiah the prophet tells us, They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water (Isaiah 49:10). Help us to show compassion in our daily lives to all those around us. By supporting this grant we will enable LWR to send quilts & kits made by Lutheran women to the poor and needy of the world and to share the love of Christ Jesus. Amen. Prayer #2 – Oh, God, our Father, hear our prayer. We know our Lord Jesus Christ humbled Himself to be born into poverty and die in poverty. The Holy Spirit instills in us a desire to care for the hungry, the poor, those without hope. Help us to have compassion and concern for the less fortunate of the world. Lutheran World Relief sends quilts and kits all over the world to these same people. May we be generous in our support of the shipping fund for Lutheran World Relief. Amen. Prayer #3 – Dearest God, our heavenly Father, we lift up to you our prayers for Lutheran World Relief and the funds needed to ship quilts and kits to the needy around the world. We have been blessed. We know of Jesus salvation and of His love. We want for very little. Help us to show kindness and compassion for others. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12). Through our support of this grant we pray that the lives of many will be wrapped in His love and come to know Jesus. Amen.
For as long as the LWML has existed, Lutheran women have been making quilts to send to those in need. Some have been works of art and some more serviceable but all made with love. These same women have been putting together kits of health items or school supplies, baby needs or even just fabric. And since 1945 Lutheran World Relief (LWR) has been supplying these quilts & kits to those who need them most. LWR ships between $12 and $13 million worth of quilts, blankets, baby care kits, personal care kits, school and fabric kits and soap to 20 countries on average each year. Each year it costs approximately $1.5 million to run this program. The Quilt & Shipping Fund raises about $675,000 each year but this is not enough. This LWML grant of $80,000 will help sustain the fund and support these costs. Many of our women who make these quilts have no idea how treasured they are by those who receive them. They are cherished as a personal gift of love by the hands that made it and by God who brought it to them. In fiscal year 2015, LWR sent 332,592 quilts along with 375,500 kits to countries from Angola to Yemen; from Burkina Faso to Ukraine and from Ghana to Thailand. The Quilt & Kit ministry is LWR oldest ministry serving as an expression of Christ’s love in the world but it also promotes global education in the US about the need for humanitarian assistance and the opportunity for ministry at the same time. We pray that through this grant supplying funds for shipping that the quilts made with great care and love will be an expression of the compassion and the love of Jesus.

ROCHESTER SERVANT EVENT NEEDS SOME GOOD HOMES Rochester Servant Event (RSE June 10‐13) will be hos ng youth and adults from outside of Rochester! We are looking for people willing to host some awesome servants! One group that is coming will have 26 people. If you can host them together, or know of a place that they could stay together, please let us know. Otherwise, we will break them into smaller groups. A change for this year! Nancy Carlson (206‐4956) has stepped into the Housing Coordinator posi on for RSE! Thank you Nancy! Let her know if you can host!
DO YOU NEED SOME HELP? Feeling overwhelmed by a home project, either inside or out? Know of someone who is and may need assistance? If so, we are looking for projects to work on during the Rochester Servant Event. Please contact Jan Czaplewski at 507‐319‐4695.
