1 13600 CASPIAN WAY, CLERMONT, FLORIDA MARCH-APRIL, 2016 Pastor Dennis Schmidt Accepts Call Pastor Dennis Schmidt has accepted the call of the congregation to be the next Pastor of Shepherd of the Hills. The Congregation overwhelmingly accepted the recommendation of the Call Committee and the Church Council at a special meeting of the congregation on February 28 to call Pastor Schmidt after almost a year of preparation, looking and interviewing candidates. Pastor Schmidt sent us this note this week: I am trying for a start date of April 16th. However, this will be a time of transition since we probably won't have a place to live until the end of the month. So I will more than likely come over on Friday evening, spend the night in a hotel, go to the church on Sat. and start getting ready for Sunday and conduct services on Sunday and possibly stay over Monday evening as well. But we will be going back and forth, packing, searching for a place to live, etc. so I hope the congregation will be patient during the transition process. I am excited to be coming to Shepherd of the Hills and I can't wait to begin our new journey together. I am confident that God has great plans for us. Please keep us in your prayers during this time as we hold all of you in ours as well. Expectantly, Pastor Dennis

I am thankful to have had this opportunity to get to know and serve among the saints at SOTH! The Florida/Bahamas Bishop conducted a Chrism service in Ocala on March 19 at Joy Lutheran Church. Joe Sandor attended as a rep from Shepherd of the Hills, to pick up a bottle of Chrism Oil (which the bishop has blessed) for baptisms and confirmations. Thank you Joe. Thanks to all the loving folks who brought in 21 cases/flats of bottled water to help fill the truck load sent to Flint, Michigan from Central Florida churches. They really filled up the back of my car as Judy and I transported them to Winter Park. In Christ's love, Pastor Pete PASTOR ZIEG WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE US UNTIL PASTOR SCHMIDT ARRIVES!3

10 Bishop Schaefer s Easter Message [The angels] said to [Mary Magdalene], "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." John 20:13 Dear friends in Christ, We all have had those days when faith is only a thing hoped for. Where God seems to be missing in action and we don t know where to find him. Many will come to our congregations at Easter much the way Mary went to the tomb on the first Easter morning. That is why the church has gathered every Sunday since the first Easter Sunday to proclaim in word and sacrament the Easter message: Alleluia! Christ is Risen. Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia! We gather as God s family, all of us bearing the scars of life, living as imperfect and sinful human beings in a fallen world. In the midst of our brokenness, remember that the Risen Christ whom Mary meets in the garden, still bears the marks of the crucifixion. The Risen One seeks out his own as he sought Mary on that first Easter. The Risen One leads us to the baptismal font and to the altar where we encounter him just as literally as Mary did. This Easter at tables around the Florida-Bahamas Synod and around the world, in Holy Communion, with Mary Magdalene, the crucified and risen Jesus will call US each by name. In love and wonder, may we rise from this meal responding with Mary: I have seen the Lord! Scars and all Christ is Risen. Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia! Peace be yours, + Robert G. Schaefer Bishop of the Florida-Bahamas Synod!10
