3 A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR HUGH For me, Easter is... How might we finish that sentence? Nostalgically? Do we remember the times when we were children and hunted for colorful Easter Eggs? Seasonally? Do we welcome the waning of winter and the sure and steady unfolding of spring? Agnostically? Might we really not know what to believe about the claims of a dead man coming back to life nearly 2,000 years ago, let alone how that has anything to do with us, today? Faithfully? Do we find in this story our story? Have we joined in Jesus death, by dropping the weight of past wrongs and relinquishing our claim on being right all the time, in order to be swept up into the whirlwind of God s transforming, resurrecting love? Do we find in this story one that has set countless captives free from the tyrannies of sin, death and the demonic a source of power that melts away our fears and brings to us new life with its promise of perfect love? None of the above? All the above? Easter is many things to all of us, to be sure. To the first followers, it came as a shock, an unbelievable shattering of the reality that had shaped their lives up to that moment. The Gospel of Mark tells the story of the resurrection in a manner that has left many scratching their heads. It seems so incomplete, like it s missing the most important detail: a resurrected Jesus. Unlike the other gospels that have stories of the resurrected Jesus encountering the fearful and bewildered disciples, Mark s story ends with the women, who had gone to the Jesus tomb expecting to prepare his body for a proper burial, discovering it was empty and, alarmingly, finding a young man sitting where the body ought to have been. When he told them that Jesus was alive and instructed them to tell the others, they did quite the opposite. Mark tells us that they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror [literally trembling or quivering with fear] and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. Yet, clearly, they must have. After all, nearly 2,000 years later we come together on Easter Sunday to celebrate the good news that that young man in the empty tomb shared with those women. They must have found in that very story they were told, the key to unlock the shackles of terror and amazement that had seized them. They had come to the tomb with clearly defined expectations: a stone that had to be moved; a body that had to be properly prepared; and profound grief that had to be endured. What they found shattered all of that. No stone, no body, and... wait for it... no need to grieve. It must have taken time for the implications of all that to sink in, but eventually it did. For they eventually told others. And like a chain reaction, the story spread and spread. During this Easter season, let us take time to ponder how we respond to the news, The Lord, is Risen. If we, unlike the women, are not are seized by amazement (if not, by a bit of trembling), then we haven t really grasped its implications. If Jesus could break the chains of his own death, what might he do for us? Pastor Hugh

9 GOT PLARN??? Plarn? You ask. Well, it is plastic yarn Let me explain Basically, you cut plastic bags into strips and crochet them. Why would one crochet plastic bag strips? Stay with me here Believe it or not, to make a plastic sleeping mat!!! Yes, a plastic sleeping mat for the homeless. It is amazing!!! I actually saw one, and it blew my mind!!! It is soft, creates a barrier between the person and the ground, repels bugs, is lightweight, and if it gets wet, it just has to be shaken to dry. It takes about bags to make one mat! I know that is a lot of bags and the reason for this advertisement. I am collecting shopping plastic bags. Any size, any color, any store, but they do have to be plastic. A labeled box is located in the coat area. So bring in all those plastic bags that are overtaking your kitchen or pantry, double bag when you go shopping, and instead of putting the plastic bags in the recycling bin at the store, bring them here to recycle. I am so excited about this project, and I thank-you for your help! ~ Susanne Farley ~
10 Pastor Bruce Benander was a beloved Pastor at St. Paul s for ten years. Below is his obituary that appeared in The Republican last week. Each of us who were here during his tenure have a special, fond memory of Pastor Bruce. Gift of Ministry Reverend Bruce Kenneth Benander was born on April 4, 1932 to Mary and Emery Benander in Boston, MA. His early family life was deeply challenged by poverty during the Great Depression. Bruce experienced his calling to the ministry at a young age, influenced by his grandfather, Reverend Anders Benander, pastor of Resurrection Lutheran Church in Boston. Bruce graduated from Upsala College, a Lutheran school in East Orange, NJ, in Bruce graduated from Augustana Lutheran Seminary in 1957 and was ordained as a Lutheran Minister that same year. He met Joan Gustavson through Upsala s Chapel Choir and they were married from , during which time they shared the joy of raising three children, Lynn, Laurie and Mark. Pastor Bruce s first church was St. Paul s in East Chicago, IN. He started Lutheran Church of the Cross as a mission congregation in Arlington Heights, IL in He answered a call to St. Paul s Lutheran Church in Wethersfield, CT in 1964 for ten years, prior to becoming the pastor of Bethesda Lutheran Church in Springfield, MA, from 1974 to At age 65, Pastor Bruce decided he was not ready to retire.he spent the last 17 years of his ministry serving three churches in upper New York State: Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poestinkill, Zion Lutheran Church in Athens, and Trinity Lutheran Church in West Sand Lake. Pastor Bruce officially retired in 2014, celebrating 57 years of pastoral care with the Lutheran Church in America. During his tenure, Pastor Bruce was passionate about family life, social justice, civil rights, youth ministry and ecumenical work in all of the communities he served. Bruce married Marty Rhodes in 1987, celebrating 30 years of marriage in He is survived by his brothers, Carl Benander (wife Liu), and Donald Benander (wife Rhona Rothenburg). He is predeceased by two sisters, Virginia Benander and Emily Benander Culver, and a brother, Anders Benander (wife Eve). Bruce holds a special place of faith, laughter and love in the hearts of his wife, Marty, his five children: Lynn Benander (husband Dan Post), Laurie Benander Cirillo (husband Paul Cirillo), Mark Benander (wife MJ Hyndman Benander), Lindsey Lane Seiffert (partner Drew Schilling), and Shawn Lane (wife Heather Dupont) as well as Kathryn Lyndon (formerly Joan Gustavson). Bruce loved being a grandpa and a great grandpa, celebrating 12 grandchildren: Maya, Marjorie, Emily, Luke, Jeffrey, Isaac, Katie, Julian, Ali, Wil, Austin, and Gracelyn, and 4 great grandchildren: Louis, Miles, Diana and Dorothy. Bruce courageously battled Parkinson s disease which escalated this past year. In the last month of his life, we discovered he was also fighting lung embolisms, blood cancer and bone marrow cancer. Our family made the decision with Bruce in love to bring him home on hospice. Bruce enjoyed a steady stream of family and friends this past week, and we are especially grateful to those who helped us care for him. He passed away early Sunday morning, March 25, The family is committed to creating a green burial for Bruce, as was his choice. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, April 7, at 11:00 am at Our Savior s Lutheran Church in South Hadley, MA. All are welcome. Donations in Bruce s honor can be sent to Our Savior s Lutheran Church, 319 Granby Rd., South Hadley, MA We celebrate and cherish Bruce s love, exuberance for each day, laughter and mischievousness, booming voice and vibrant spirit. We are grateful for the inspiration he has been for so many people, in so many places, spanning so many years. May the peace that passes all understanding be with us all. Published in The Republican from Mar. 29 to Mar. 30, 2018
11 HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FEBRUARY 2018 MEETING The council was introduced to Reverend Robert LaRochelle who will serve as Pastor at St. Paul s during Pastor Hugh s sabbatical in July, August and September. Russ Bengtson was approved to return to council. Council shared correspondence from members of the congregation who are opposed to a banner being placed in front of the church welcoming members of the LGBTQ community. Pastor shared his essay entitled Adopting a Spirit of Confession Church in Dividing Issues. When there are dividing opinions within our church, we need to lead into a conversation where we can work together, respect where people are coming from and grow. More conversations will follow among council members and additional resources will be obtained from Synod and other sources. Debbie Viola will be in charge of finance during Mary s absence from 3/7-3/29. Council is considering how best to replace the lock for the door leading into the building from the parking lot. Possibilities are a deadbolt lock with a keypad code. It was also suggested that we get a bell for the door so the office manager can hear when someone needs to come in. Jackie was able to get clarity between the cost difference in quotes for the new parking lot. The $8,000 quote includes breaking up the old lot down to the original surface. The $6,000 quote was just going to cover the existing crumbling parking lot.
