Christ is risen! He has risen indeed!
Easter was a joyous occasion at Grace this
again this year. The breakfast was
delicious and the Easter egg hunt was fun
for the children. The Pastor’s sermon was
uplifting. Many had family visiting, which
added to the worship experience. The
Easter lilies around the altar and the flower
filled cross filled everyone with hope. A
beautiful day was had by all! Thanks to
everyone who worked so hard to make
everything run smoothly that day!

Pastor’s Message May 2017
John 21:9-14
“9 When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.”
The Gospel of John takes the time to tell us several stories of Jesus’ appearances to his Disciples after his resurrection. They are fascinating stories, as Jesus comes among the 11,
shows himself, interacts with them, gives the gift of the Spirit, and reassures them that he has, in fact, been raised as he had told them he would. This will help to guide his chosen ones to the day of Pentecost and the birth of the true church, but these appearances have other, deeper meanings as well.
Notice in this story just how physical Jesus is in his interactions – this following directly after his conversation with Thomas, the “unbeliever.” They have touched his hands and his side. They have embraced him, and now they share food with him, and he eats like any other man. All of these steps are taken to show us that Jesus was not just spiritually raised from the dead, but physically raised, and that he was found in his body in his new life after death. This is because John, and the other Gospels slightly less so, is attempting to do something theological in its recalling of the stories of Jesus.
An important part of the theology of all the Gospels is incarnation. Jesus is God in flesh and blood, in material, bodily form – in physical, tangible “stuff” just like you and me. It is the way that we can connect with God through Christ – as the church father Athanasias said “He became what we are that we might become what he is.”
Seeing Jesus eating bread and fish after his Resurrection tells us that even after his dying and
rising, we can still find God through Christ in flesh and blood in our midst. Christ said “I will be with you always, till the end of the age” (Matthew 28) and our tradition tells us that we are to see the face of Christ in those around us.
Every Sunday that we speak together the Apostle’s Creed, you will see me + myself when we say the words “The Resurrection of the body…” This is because I believe that my closest connection to the risen Jesus Christ is found in my connection with God’s children – in flesh and blood, tangible presence just as Jesus shared with his Disciples after His resurrection. We live in the Easter promise of Christ raised from the dead, and the way that we see Him in our midst is in each other, in the faces – and hands – and bellies – and feet of those who are near to us, those who are far away from us, and maybe especially those who need our help.
This month, find the physical presence of God with you in the body of Christ that surrounds you as we live in the joy of the Easter promise.

Annual Yard Sale
Grace's Annual Yard Sale is a big
fundraiser for the men's and women's
group, and a way for us to connect with
our community. Please look through your
'stuff,' pick some things to donate. If you
need to, you may drop off your items in
the Fellowship Hall prior to Friday.
Otherwise, bring them on Friday. Be sure
to price your items before you bring them
to the Church. If possible, please come
on Friday May 5th to help set up, and

and clean-up. The sale starts at 7 am

Special Announcements!
Max Lucado’s Fearless - Sunday School Topic May 7 through May 28
A study of Max Lucado’s book, Fearless, will be the Sunday School topic in May. This
series will be facilitated by various Church members. Lucado is a well known Christian
author who has written almost 100 books with 80 million copies in print and has also
appeared regularly on several bestseller lists including the New York Times Best
Seller List. His book Fearless asks you to imagine your life, wholly untouched by
angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a
fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or
doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more
and fear less. Can you imagine your life without fear? Please consider making Sunday
School a part of your Church activities in May.

The Laughing Lutheran!
The rabbi and the priest met at the
town’s annual picnic. Old friends, they
began their usual banter.
“This ham is really delicious,” the
priest teased the rabbi, “You really
ought to try it. I know it’s against your
religion, but you just haven’t lived until
you’ve tried Mrs. Hall’s prized Virginia
Baked Ham. Tell me, when are you
going to break down and have some?”
The rabbi looked at his friend with a
big grin, and said, “At your wedding.”
Two boys were walking home from Sunday school
after hearing a strong preaching on the devil.
One said to the other, "What do you think about all
this Satan stuff?"
The other boy replied, "Well, you know how Santa

Red Cross trainer, Michael Francis
(pictured right), provided AED
training at Grace on Saturday, April
29th. Pictured above are the
numerous church memebers who
attended the training. From left to

Hermany, Janet Calloway, Bonnie
Smith, Linda Turner, Lois Hoot,
Pastor Ben and Ann Myers.
Last month, Grace purchased and installed an
AED (automated external defibrillator). It is
now mounted in the narthex beside the men’s
restroom door.
An AED is a portable electronic device that
automatically diagnoses the life-threatening
cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation
and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is
able to treat them through defibrillation, the
application of electrical therapy which stops
the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to
reestablish an effective rhythm. With simple
audio and visual commands, AEDs are
designed to be simple to use for the layperson.
Thanks to all who went to the training!
GLC now has an
AED and people
trained to use it!
