Thanks, without end for all who gathered Thursdays for the study of Psalms. (Preview: Pete Liljeberg will be leading the next “study” time, plan to make it a part of your calendar). For each one of you whom God has called together to be Apostles Lutheran. For Diane Ericson who is a Eucharistic minister to some of our home bound. For the music ministry of this congregation choirs and musicians who serve even more during Lent, Holy Week and Easter bringing to us the Gospel in music. For all who gathered, planned and created the Prayground. For all of your good wishes on my 71st birthday. To all who are involved in getting ready for a new pastor: the Call Committee, the council, those involved in fixing up the building for new ministry - keep all in your prayers. For all of you - Apostles’ servants.
Time and Talent. We believe that God gives us certain abilities, grants us time and then asks us to offer these in order to praise God and love the neighbor. This sounds reasonable until it comes to the reality of the process. This means that it is important for each of us to discern what your skills are and then offer them to Apostles in order to serve God and the neighbor. Can you cook? Clean? Speak in front of people? Organize in meetings? Build? Sing? Pray? Usher? Teach? Help with children? Take minutes at meeting? Make phone calls? What is God calling you to do? Tell us by completing the time and talent sheet that you will receive.
? Do you know the name of the person who sits on the last pew on the lectern side on the aisle seat? Permanent name tags are coming. Please wear them AND then introduce yourself to someone you do not know.
Blessings to you and JOY,
Pastor Judy
