1 The Epiphany Star February 2018 Newsletter of Epiphany Lutheran Church Fort Wayne, Indiana Dear Epiphany Lutheran Church, On February 14 (yes I know it is Valentine s Day) we begin the Season of Lent with Ash Wednesday. I think it is interesting that Valentine s Day/Ash Wednesday what a better way to combine the two heart factors in our lives. What do you think of when you hear the Season of Lent? It might be The Cross that Christ was crucified on or the need to focus more time on the repentance of our sins. It might bring thoughts of Mid-Week Lenten suppers and worship, or the darker tone of the music that we use in our worship services. The Season of Lent is six weeks long and leads us into the joyous celebration of Easter! Lent can be a high point in the church calendar. During the Season of Lent, I would encourage you to think about your relationship with our Savior Jesus the Christ. How much time do you spend on a daily basis in prayer with Jesus? How much time and effort do you spend helping others in your daily lives? The Season of Lent is a season (time) of fasting. Fasting is a discipline of restraint so that you can celebrate something greater later. Yet, even in that time of preparation and reflection one can experience some joy. We just need to remember to do it with some restraint. Originally the Season of Lent was an intense time of preparation (fasting and prayer) for the sacrament of Holy Baptism on Easter Sunday. What could be more joyful that time spent preparing for a life with Jesus? All of the preparations were to say to the candidate- something great is about to happen. Get ready! Something great is about to happen at Epiphany! Throughout the month of February there are numerous activities and events that are designed to help us in our time of preparation for something greater. On Tuesday, Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. will be the traditional Fat Tuesday/Pancake Festival with Pastor and Dave York. Then starting on Feb. 14 at 6 p.m. we will begin the Lenten journey with a simple supper at 6 p.m. and Ash Wednesday service at 7 p.m., and then will continue with the same schedule every week for the six weeks of Lent. On Feb. 23 from 5-7p.m. we are having a community Fish Fry. Be sure to sign-up to help and invite your neighbors and co-workers. This is a fund-raiser for the youth going to the National Youth Gathering in Houston, TX in July. 1

2 I would encourage you to seek some time during the Season of Lent to reflect on the priorities in your life and find ways to make them important. I know for me one of my priorities is improving my relationships with God and family. One of the important lessons I have learned is that if you want to improve relationships you have to spend time in them. God bless you as you prepare to begin your Lenten journey. In Christ, Pastor Richard Hartman We are Christians, called by God, committed to: Sharing the Gospel, Serving others as Christ taught us, and Creating disciples for witness.

8 Mission Moment for February 2018 Thanks so much to everyone who donated items to our Baby Shower for Jesus. Every gift to a needy little one in His honor is a gift to the Christ Child. Lent begins in February and we ll again be supporting the Associated Churches Fishes and Loaves collection. Items of canned fish such as tuna, salmon or mackerel as well as tuna helper, crackers and pasta are needed. We will continue to collect soup until the Super Bowl as well. Support your favorite team! Just hope it s not the Pats. Also in our Lenten journey we will collect funds for Heifer International. This organization (started in Indiana) provides families with animals and agricultural items like trees and seeds and provides education and support so these families and their communities can become self-sufficient. Our young people will be choosing what animals we will collect for. Look for giving suggestions in you mail boxes and Heifer banks to take home and fill.. Written by Jane Dawkins
