1 The Christian Connection V o l u m e X X I V, I s s u e 3 M a r c h Our Redeemer Lutheran Church NE 140th St. Kirkland, WA Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing ORLCKIRKLAND In his Lenten hymn by this title, Walter Shirley invites us to times of contemplation at the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. In stanza two (Ambassador Hymnal #68) we are reminded, Truly blessed is this station, low before His cross to lie, while we see divine compassion beaming in His gracious eye. The author Shirley, a Protestant friend of Wesley and Whitefield, saw the devotional value of loving contemplation, certainly a worthy spiritual exercise during the Lenten Season. It was in Jerusalem some years ago that Barbara and I walked the Via Dolorosa, the way of sorrow, as millions of Christian pilgrims have done over the centuries. The fourteen Stations of the Cross mark the pathway, and although we were with a tour group that had to keep moving, the experience of walking where Jesus carried His cross was very meaningful. Churches throughout the world have sought to reenact that experience by including the Stations of the Cross in their sanctuaries. One of the local opportunities to experience this is at the chapel at what is now Bastyr University in Kenmore. This beautiful building, now a popular venue for concerts because of its excellent acoustics, still has the Stations of the Cross for loving contemplation in its interior space. With its choir seating, I often am focused on one of the Stations of the Cross on the opposite wall as I listen to the concert, often with great sacred music. Of course, we don t have to be in such a setting to lovingly contemplate what Jesus did for us on the cross. We can meditate on the Scriptures that convey the suffering of our Lord on our behalf. We can be drawn into contemplation by moving music by gifted musicians that leads us to the cross. We may also be inspired by the visual arts as Jesus is portrayed as the suffering Servant before our eyes in painting and sculpture. The means God uses may be varied, but the intended focus is to bring us to see divine compassion beaming in His gracious eye. For although we will see both divine justice and divine mercy fully demonstrated on the cross, God s purpose is always to draw us in and not to drive us away. That is why this time beneath the cross, though at times painful, ultimately fits Walter Shirley s description, Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, which before the cross we spend, life and health and peace possessing, from the sinner s dying Friend. Contemplating with you, I n s i d e t h i s i s s u e : Vote to Call Mission Letter Sermon Themes Lenten Schedule Easter Chimers Volunteer Schedule Birthdays Church Chat Thank you Ameeta!

A combined choir from ORLC and The Door will present Hallelujah! What a Savior! to lead us in worship on Palm Sunday March 25th at our 9:30 AM Worship Service. This cantata of beautiful and inspiring music and Scripture readings will be a great way to begin our Holy Week worship. Plan to come to worship our Savior with your Hallelujahs! News from our Missionaries in Mexico February 2018 Dear praying friends, For a number of you this winter saw record cold temperatures. We set records for cold temperatures here in Mexico as well. It got all the way down to 38 degrees.... in the house :) The actual temperature was about 10 degrees outside. So when people here received the generous gift of a quilt made with love by Quilters in AFLC churches in the USA you can be very certain that it was HUGELY appreciated. Thank you for continuing to pray for the broken families and broken lives of people in our church. And thank you to all of you who have been able to support us with your gifts. They have been much appreciated. In Jesus love, Todd and Barb Schierkolk Jerez, Zacatecas, Mexico 2
