A Letter from the Pastor: by Pastor Jay Anderson “I Once Was Lost….(oh, if ONLY it were just once!)” Growing up in Madison, Indiana it was always easy to find your way around. This historic old city was laid out in a grid pattern with streets running either north-south or east-west. Furthermore, the Ohio River was ALWAYS to the south and it didn’t take long before you could just sense in your bones where the river was in relation to where you were.

A Letter from the Pastor:

by Pastor Jay Anderson

“I Once Was Lost….(oh, if ONLY it were just once!)”

Growing up in Madison, Indiana it was always easy to find your way

around. This historic old city was laid out in a grid pattern with streets

running either north-south or east-west. Furthermore, the Ohio River was

ALWAYS to the south and it didn’t take long before you could just sense in your bones where the river was in relation to where you were. So knowing

your directions or where a street was located was always pretty simple.

As a teenage I had terrible acne. It was so bad, in fact, that I had weekly

appointments with the local dermatologist in Madison. It wasn’t long,

though, before that local doctor referred me to a dermatological specialist

in Louisville, Kentucky, 45 miles away. Fortunately, those appointments

weren’t weekly, but I did go every other week for a series of treatments

that seemed almost barbarian to the teenage me. Not a lot of fun!

However, since my mom had to work and couldn’t take me, I got to drive

myself down to “the big city” for these appointments. I remember the first

time I went, I found the office in downtown Louisville (it’s pronounced “Lou

-uh-vull,” by the way), had my appointment and then got in the car to head

back home. Instinctively knowing where the river was and that it was

ALWAYS to my south, I took off. Forty minutes later, as I was approaching

Elizabethtown, Kentucky I realized two things - one, I had gone the wrong

direction because in Kentucky the river is ALWAYS to the north, and two,

my lack of true directional instinct was going to be a BIG problem. I was SO

certain that I had gone in the right direction - there was not a doubt in my

mind!

To this day, I am directionally challenged. Inside of a build-

ing I couldn’t tell you the direction on a compass to save my

life. Sitting in my office I have to look out the window to get

my bearings before I even attempt to point toward some

landmark or building that is out of sight. If I guess at a direc-

tion I am almost always wrong and most of the time off by

180 degrees. It is a sad, sad state of affairs.

Lent, however, is a season that affords us the opportunity

to be “found.” During Lent people often choose to give up

something - as a form of self-denial or sacrifice - or to take

on something new, such as a spiritual discipline of some

kind. Both are noble gestures if done for the right reason.

But Lent is about more than that. Lent is about owning the

fact that we are, in fact, “lost;” that we often are going in the wrong direction in our lives, in our spiritual journey, in

our relationships, or whatever it might be. Lent invites us to “turn around.” Scripture calls it repentance, but what it

means is to turn in a new direction, to make the necessary changes in our lives - not just for 40 days but for good -

that will keep us going in the direction of God’s deepest desire for us as God’s beloved children.

If I had had a GPS way back when I was making bi-weekly trips to the doctor in Louisville, I would likely not have

gotten AS turned around - it’s not a guarantee but at least my odds would have been better. As Christians we have

our own GPS - God’s Positioning System - in Jesus Christ and his teachings that, if we follow them, will keep us from

getting lost. “I once was lost, but now I’m found,” the great hymn tells us. I hope you can find your way to our Len-

ten worship series on “The Way of Jesus,” and our book study “The Walk,” and to all of our Lent and Holy Week

worship opportunities.

Grace & Peace,

Pastor Jay

Music Concerts at Church of the Master This Month– All are Free!

Sunday March 15th at 8:00pm – “Pop! Goes the Opera”

The Otterbein Singers, under the direction of Dennis Davenport and Joyce Stonebraker, present "Pop! Goes the

Opera!" Beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, musical theatre was transformed by epic, sung-through works with a

larger-than-life “operatic” scale of production, story-telling and singing, while retaining a “pop” sensibility. You

know these works, among the most popular of all time: "Les Miserables" (1985) and "Miss Saigon" (1989) by

Schönberg and Boublil; and the never-ending cavalcade of hits from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber: "Jesus Christ

Superstar" (1971), "Evita" (1978), "Cats" (1980), and "Phantom of the Opera" (1986). All these and more will

feature the talents of Otterbein’s musical theatre students as we sing the great tunes of Pop Opera!

Including choral arrangements, solos, duets and small ensembles, the program will feature the talents of the

35-member Otterbein Singers, a choral ensemble made up entirely of BFA Musical Theatre and Acting students.

The concert is a benefit for the Friends of the Courtright Memorial Library. Admission is free, donations to the

Friends are welcome, and the Friends will host a reception following the concert.

Tuesday March 17th at 8:00pm – Otterbein Student Jazz Combos

Friday March 20th at 7:00pm – American Guild of Organists present Organ Jazz featuring our pipe organ and a

Warm Workday

The COM workday at WARM (the local food bank) on February 25 was a huge success! Twenty-five folks of various ages helped to sort

donated food into boxes by category--vegetables, beans, soups, etc. Even the littlest members were able to contribute by retrieving cans

from the bottoms of the giant donation boxes! WARM receives over half of its food donations in the months of November and December,

so there was a lot to sort. To make food donations throughout the year, you can

put cans into the WARM and NNEMAP cart in the Gathering Space. A monetary

donation provides even more food, because WARM can purchase groceries very

inexpensively from the Mid Ohio Food Bank. If you enjoyed the workday and

would like to do more volunteering at WARM, (1) go to the "volunteer" tab at

warmwesterville.org, (2) download and fill out an application, and (3) return it to

Julia Smith, the Volunteer Services Manager ([email protected]).

Westerville Service Day Another service opportunity is scheduled for next month: COM will be participat-

ing in Westerville Service Day on Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. We will be doing yardwork, repairs, painting, and cleaning for

senior citizens and residents-in-need in the Westerville School District. Mark your calendar and stay tuned for more details! If you know a

senior citizen or other resident who could use some help, email [email protected] with the resident's name, phone, ad-

dress, and a description of the work he/she needs done.

Church of the Master

Invites You to Join Us for

VBS, Day Camp, and Survivor Camp

July 20-24, 2020

This year our theme is The Knights of North Castle. Together we will

learn to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of God’s power by

exploring how we put on the armor of God. Kids will discover different pieces of armor at work in the lives of

familiar Bible characters. They will also explore how that armor works in their own lives as they follow and serve God. Kids participate in

memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, devour yummy treats, create fun crafts, explore

amazing science experiments, and serve God through mission projects. And if that is not enough, campers at Sugarbush will also get to

enjoy the fun of traditional camping activities such as hiking, campfires, cookouts, and creeking!

Survivor is our Day Camp component for rising 6th -8th grade. Besides discovering that God is good even when life is wild, campers

will have the opportunity to “Out Love. Out Grow. Out Serve.” Everything we do at Survivor is “Super-Sized” for extra Middle School Youth

fun. Our week long schedule will include the following: Bible study, crafts, off-site trips, cookouts, pizza, creeking, mission projects, making

ice cream, and much, much, more!!
