1 Thinking of a Memorial.... Non Profit Org. U.S. Postage Paid Duluth, MN Permit No The Friend Serving God, His People, and our Community Our Savior s Lutheran Church March, 2008 Think of the Foundation... Our Savior s Evangelical Lutheran Church 4831 Grand Avenue, Duluth, Our Savior s Evangelical Lutheran Church 4831 Grand Avenue Duluth, MN As I write this column, the snow is still piled up and the temperature is fluctuating above and below zero. For whatever reason, it seems that winter has been lingering longer than usual. I have had enough, frankly, and can t wait for spring to come. And even though it looks like we will still be shoveling snow when Easter Lilies will be adorning our church sanctuary, the thought of the Easter promise does warm my heart. At the beginning of February we began our most holy of journeys from Ash Wednesday to the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord. With foreheads smudged with the reminder of our sinful mortality, we have journeyed with Jesus toward his confrontation with sin and death on our behalves. Then the journey takes an unexpected turn, toward resurrection, the promise of eternal life and the fulfillment of God s salvation plan. Easter is a time of celebration and joy and renewed hope. As our lenten video series has reminded us, God has come all the way down, done everything necessary, to reconcile us to God and to show us how to live now in the promise of a future in God s kingdom. Another way to put it is that we are called to live as Easter people, not in the shadow of the cross, but in the brilliant light of Jesus risen and living presence in our lives. Unlike the proverbial groundhog, we don t have to be afraid of that shadow. I have lived in Minnesota most of my life. I know that the snow and the cold temperatures will soon give way to green grass, warm summer breezes and time to relax and be refreshed. I also know I am an Easter person. By God s grace, the Son shines into my life every day. That is my hope, my comfort in difficult times, and my future that the risen Jesus has given me as a gift of his love. I guess I can endure a little more winter knowing that nothing can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Pastor John 16

2 LENTEN WORSHIP A SEDER SUPPER Video Presentation: Down and Out: Where Grace Takes You This year, to commemorate Maundy Thursday, we will have a Seder Supper, a traditional Passover Week Dinner celebrated by the Hebrews since the Exodus. From the Old Testament, it is the Hebrew Thanksgiving, giving thanks to God for deliverance and redemption. It also commemorates the protection of God as the Angel of Death passed over every family protected by the Blood of the sacrificial Lamb. From the New Testament Seder is also called The Last Supper, hosted by Jesus for His disciples. It is probable, based on The Gospels, to assume that Jesus celebrated every Seder of His life in Jerusalem. Seder, as the setting for Jesus' Last Supper, was the event Jesus chose to announce The New Covenant. And it was at this Seder that Jesus asked all of us to do this in remembrance of me. Many of us have done part of the Seder at our various Communion Services, but the entire ceremony will bring us a profound sense of meaning. Our Seder Supper will be March 20, beginning at 6pm. This will be a complete meal with traditional Hebrew recipes and explanations of each course, followed by Holy Communion. The observance of Maundy Thursday using a Seder Supper is an age-old tradition. This promises to be a very meaningful evening. A free-will offering will be taken to cover expenses.

MISSION TRIP TO BILOXI Phill Janzig is organizing another trip to Biloxi, Mississippi to help build houses for people whose homes where taken away by Hurricane Katrina. If you would like to go down and help out during the 2nd week in April, call Phill at LIBRARY The book Three Cups of Tea, by Greg Mortenson and David Relin is a recent addition to our church library. It is the story of how to make peace in one of the most beautiful places in the world, Pakistan and Afghanistan, by building schools for girls. Greg Mortenson, a former mountain climber, knows something about hardship. But in this book you realize that the summit he is striving for, as a humanitarian, is much more difficult than any mountain. Mortenson s Minnesota-born parents, had been Lutheran missionaries and teachers in Tanzania, where they built a school and a hospital. Three Cups of Tea is the Duluth Public Library s choice for community reading this year. They will be hosting an event with Mr. Mortenson as the speaker on Wednesday, March 19th at 7pm at Marshall School. Free tickets are available at any of the Duluth Public Libraries. HELP KIDS GET TO SCHOOL A situation has arisen that many of you are probably unaware of. The Head Start program has had to cut bussing from their programming due to lack of funding. Without bussing, Head Start families are required to provide their own transportation. (Head Start provides prekindergarten programming for three and four-year-old children who meet income eligibility guidelines.) The Head Start Transportation Collaborative was formed to look at how the community could support families and their children to ensure that they get the early education that is critical for future success. The Collaborative raises money to provide families with monthly $20 gas cards or monthly bus passes to help overcome transportation barriers. The Collaborative is reaching out to the community and asking for your support in the effort. To meet the need for this year, the Collaborative must collect over 200 gas cards and 60 bus passes. The Collaborative has been moved by the support demonstrated by local faith partners and other community contributors. Donations should be sent to: Head Start Transportation Collaborative c/o St. Paul s Episcopal 1710 E. Superior Street Duluth, MN

7 CHERYL ANNE IS FINALLY HOME True story of a CHUM client. Hi! My name is Cheryl Anne and I am 10 years old. This year I am in 5th grade and I really like my school and my home. Last year, when I was in 4th grade, I went to my seventh school. We have moved so many times I can t even remember them all. The last time we lived somewhere for a long time was for 2 years. I remember that I really liked it there, and I thought it would be my home forever. I got to see my friends and my grandma and grandpa whenever I wanted to. But then we had to move again and I was really sad. Mom explained why we had to move and after I thought about it I guess I understood. As long as I can live with my mom and my brothers I know we will be OK. Every time we moved we had to give things away. I didn t want to but we couldn t move all of our stuff. The last time we moved I left my books with my grandma. I really missed my books and my grandma too. I don t like to change schools because sometimes I am behind in what we are learning. I don t know all of my multiplication facts and my teacher says that s why I am behind in learning division. But I am good at charts and graphs and some kids in my class are just learning that. Sometimes we didn t have much food. I went with my mom to the CHUM Food Shelf. Sometimes we didn t have snacks to eat after school and mom says we have to be careful and make our food last a whole month. Since last spring I have lived in Duluth and have been going to the same school. When we came to Duluth we lived at the CHUM family shelter. My mom worked with them to get us our own house. I didn t like living in the shelter. There were too many people. But now me and my mom and my brothers, finally have a home by ourselves. I have my own bedroom and I don t have to share with anyone. My room has a bed. I don t have a dresser yet, so my clothes are in boxes. I keep those in my closet. Pretty soon my mom is going to get me a dresser, then I can use the boxes for my books and the stories that I write. I will also keep my poems that I write in there. I am in Girl Scouts now and I love all the things we are doing. I am excited for the things we will be doing in the future. I have a best friend now too. We talk and share what we want to be when we grow up. We really like each other and it feels good to have a best friend that I can be with for a long, long time. Can you imagine what it would be like be Cheryl Anne? 7 schools by 5th grade? Children like Cheryl Anne need your assistance while they and their families are trying to find a home. Please consider a gift to CHUM so they can continue to help families like Cheryl Anne s. ECO PALMS The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel!" (John 12: 12-13) This year, on Palm Sunday, our palms will look much different than we are used to. Full fan palms have been ordered through a company that protects the farmer and the environment. Harvesting palm products is an important source of supplemental income for many communities in Guatemala and Mexico. However, over-harvesting can threaten the livelihood of these communities as well as the forests where the palm plants thrive. The palm producing areas tend to be the home of poorer segments of the rural population where the people rely heavily on the palm harvest for income. But, although purchases of palms in the U.S. may reach as high as $4.5 million each year, the palm harvesters themselves earn very little. Typically, palm harvesting is done by community members hired by local contractors, who then sell palms to large floral export firms. Payment is based on volume so the harvesters are motivated to gather a large number of palms without regard for the quality. As a result, up to 50% or more of the palms are later discarded because of poor quality. This method risks the rapid depletion of the forest's rich biodiversity, including the many bird species that migrate to these regions during the winter. In some areas where the waste ratio reaches as high as 50%, now through the efforts of Lutheran World Relief the discarded palms count for only 5-7% of the harvested volume! So... Eco Palm communities process the palms themselves, capturing more of the profits, thereby improving their communities standard of living. In Carmelita, Guatemala, they have built a processing building to improve working conditions, provided scholarships to students, paid a teacher s salary, and supported elderly members of the community. We are lucky to have the opportunity to support such a worthwhile cause! 10 7
