1 PARISH LIFE OF OUR LORD S LUTHERAN CHURCH S h a rin g th e jo y of C h rist s lo ve a n d pro m ise o f salvatio n w ith a ll p e o p le. March 2017 From the desk of Pr. Amanda... Lent starts on March 1st! As we enter into this time of preparing to receive the resurrection of Christ into our lives, we focus again on our three ancient practices: Almsgiving, Prayer, and Fasting. These practices of faith come from our reading for Ash Wednesday, from Matthew 6. The passage ends with the famous verse about our hearts following our treasure. It is always interesting to me that these practices are connected with our treasure. We often look at either the first or second part of this passage, but when we put them together, it makes sense that our spiritual disciplines help us tend to the treasure of our faith. When we treasure something, we take care of it. We tend to our bodies, homes, families, retirement accounts, cell phones, facebook pages, and a myriad of other things. We pay attention to our treasures, and notice them. Just as exercise helps strengthen the body, our spiritual disciplines help to strengthen our faith. Almsgiving helps us to trust in God s abundance. Prayer helps us to strengthen our relationship with God. Fasting helps us to create space God s kingdom to come into our lives. All of them help us to focus and be intentional in our lives, helping us to integrate our faith in everything we do. The stronger we become in our faith, the easier our disciplines become and the more we enjoy them. We move from attending to our faith because we want it to be our treasure to delighting in the ways God allows us to join in the kingdom of God because it is our most valuable treasure. This Lent, I invite you to make faith your treasure. Whether you really want your faith to be your treasure, and you make the first step of simply saying, Thank you, before your meals, or your faith is your most profound treasure already, and you are so comfortable for the ways in which you attend to it you have forgotten any other way to live. I hope you are up for challenging yourself to intentionally looking for God s grace through a new faith practice. It will change your life! May the disciplines of this Lenten season give you hope and vision of new life in the resurrection of Christ! Pastor Esping WEST HEFNER RO AD O KL A HOMA C ITY, O K (4 05) ww w.ol lc.or g o ail.c om
2 You are dust, and to dust you shall return. Ash Wednesday Worship March 1-6:15PM Wednesday worship: Can you still recite the Small Catechism!? Have you never heard of Luther's Small Catechism? Either way, join us for worship each Wednesday in Lent as we gather around the five central parts of the Catechism - the ten commandments, the creed, the Lord's prayer, Holy Baptism, and Holy Communion. We will also look at the hymns Luther wrote to go along with each of these sections. We will renew our minds and our hearts in faith by going back to the basics! Table Talk Groups at Our Lord s Table Talk! Do you have a table talk group yet!? We will begin gathering around our tables for faithful conversations and projects on March 5 th! If you would like some suggests or contacts for a group, please talk to Pr. Amanda or your neighbor! We need two delegates from OLLC for these 3 days of Worship, Learning, Faith Renewal, and Friendship. Expenses are paid by the congregation. The assembly will be held at the new Lutheran Ministry Center in Tulsa. Please let Pr. Amanda know if you are interested in attending!!!!
3 GENTLE YOGA CONTINUES The Spaciousness of Wilderness: Gentle yoga and centering prayer to allow space for God within our lives. Mondays, March 6 - April 10. 7:00-8:15 Every year on March 8, people around the world commemorate International Women s Day, a day dedicated to celebrating women s achievements throughout history and across nations. On this day, members of the ELCA celebrate by supporting and lifting up the International Women Leaders initiative one of 10 priorities part of The Campaign for the ELCA. How is your congregation celebrating? New this year, the International Women s Day booklet provides fundraising ideas, including a step-by-step virtual book drive, ideas for planning an International Women s Day worship service, and much more to help you get started. A new bulletin insert is also available. Looking for other ideas? Please contact us at globalchurch@elca.org or , ext With your support, we can provide educational and training opportunities, including four-year scholarships to ELCA colleges and universities, for 200 international Lutheran women by Together, we can intensify our efforts to support the contribution of women in the life and development of our church and society.
4 Thank You! Through your compassion and generous donations to our synod missions, we have raised $1835 for Morogoro Diocese of Tanzania drought relief. We pray that the people will see an end to the drought so that their cattle and communities thrive once more. THANK YOU to everyone who helped make Souper Bowl Sunday a success! We raised $330 at the luncheon and the children collected a noisy offering during the church service. The total will be sent to Prosjekt Haiti to help them with their schools and hurricane recovery work. Coffee Fellowship Time! Gene and Anna Naukam have answered the call to be coordinators for our Coffee Fellowship. Please use the sign up sheet, located on the Information Counter, to choose when you would like to host-- starting coffee before worship and bringing donuts, cookies, cupcakes or other treats to share after worship! Call Anna at or Gene and Anna: naukam@cox.net if you have any questions. Upcoming hosts are needed for March 12th and April 2nd. Thank You, Gene and Anna, for coordinating! Altar Guild is a great way to serve OLLC in a quiet, behind-the-scenes way. One person sets up on Saturday (or early Sunday morning) and another person cleans up after Worship. It doesn t take long to do but is certainly missed if it doesn t get done. Please prayerfully consider joining up to help out in such an important way. To join, please talk to Sue Lockard, Carolyn Zachritz, or Pastor Amanda. Thank you!
