God’s Work, Our Hands

Inside this issue: INVITATION TO LENT

I greet you in the name of the One who can all things but fail!

According to Evangelical Lutheran Worship, the Leaders Desk Edition, the Ash Wednesday worship includes the Invitation to Lent. It reads as follows:

“Friends in Christ, today with the whole church we enter the time of remembering Jesus’ Passover from death to life, and our life in Christ is renewed. We begin this holy season by acknowledging our need for repentance and for God’s mercy. We are created to experience joy in communion with God, to love one another, and to live in harmony with creation. But our sinful rebellion separates us from God, our neighbors, and creation, so that we do not enjoy the life our Creator intended. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to a discipline that contends against evil and resists whatever leads us away from love of God and neighbor. I invite you, therefore, to the discipline of Lent – self-examination and repentance, prayer and fasting, sacrificial giving and works of love – strengthened by the gifts of word and sacrament. Let us continue our journey through these forty days to the great Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection.”

The phrase “discipline of Lent” always seems to stick out. Just what is meant by this phrase? Looking up the word ‘discipline’ in the dictionary, under the second entry, you will find this definition:

“to train or develop by instruction and exercise especially in self-control”.

The Ministry of Education has provided us with two such opportunities for discipline throughout the Lenten season. The first is a daily devotional booklet entitled, “Moving Toward The Cross: Reflections on the Writings of Frederick Buechner”. What a great way to ‘contend against evil and resist whatever leads you away from love of God and neighbor’! Taking the time, making the commitment to exercise your own spiritual growth during this season of self-examination and repentance will indeed take discipline. The second opportunity is the ‘Look to the Cross’ self-denial folders. These folders invite us to place 50 cents a day into the designated coin slots – maybe as you read your daily devotion – as a way of remembering the love shown to us through our Savior and Lord, Jesus the Christ. Keeping up this discipline on a daily basis will total $20. Lord of Life as a community of faith will then send these gifts to one of two places. Half of the total will go to Refugee Services of Texas-Austin. This relationship began on Sunday, January 29, 2017 on Refugee Sunday here at LOLLC. The other half will go to Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center to assist victims of child abuse.

The season of Lent is often associated with “giving something up”. Again this season of Lent I invite you to “take on something”, the discipline of Lent.

In the name of Jesus, Pr. Skip

Other participants included members of Point of Grace Church, Pflugerville, and Texas Ramps of Central Texas. It was a challenging but interesting project with a Y-ramp design. Thank you to those that participated. Dick Fink will be coordinating another opportunity in 2-3 months but Texas Ramps has build opportunities almost every weekend if you are looking for greater involvement.

Christian Education Opportunities CHRISTIAN EDUCATION HOUR AT 9:30AM - The youth will meet in their normal locations. We are offering 3

Adult Education classes. We hope you will make journeying with God through education a priority starting

NOW by joining one of the following classes.

REVIVING OLD SCRATCH: Demons and the Devil for Doubters and the Disenchanted by Richard Beck. In

his book, Beck reintroduces the devil to the modern world with a biblical, bold, and urgent vision of

spiritual warfare: we must resist the devil by joining the kingdom of God’s subversive campaign to interrupt

the world with love. Because if Jesus took Satan seriously, says Beck, then so should we. This class will

meet in the cafe.

THREE MONTHS WITH REVELATION: by Justo Gonzalez. In this study of Revelation, Justo Gonzalez

uses the see-judge-act method to bring readers closer to the text and informs and challenges the daily life of

Christians. This class will meet in the sanctuary.

THE SHACK: by William P. Young. (Women's Study Group). This novel is an invitation to journey to the

very heart of God. Challenging and inviting us to see and live with our Trinity God in a whole new

light. This class will meet in the office conference room.

Adult Education Bible Study – This is an off-site bible study about women of the Bible that meets at 9:30 at the Cottonwood Creek Nursing and Rehab Center, 1500 Cottonwood Creek Trail Rm #603, Cedar Park. (Ann Willman's room). The class is led by Marge Robison and anyone is welcome to join us.

Tuesday Evening Bible Study - The Book of James, 6:30pm in the Café.

Kindred Sisters

Kindred Sisters had their February meeting on

Tuesday, Feb. 7th, at 10:30 a.m. at the Koinonia

Cafe at LOLLC. We began with devotions and

prayer. Our speaker was Dr. J. H. Rodriguez of Pure

Chiropractic Wellness. He spoke to us on "Aging

Gracefully", giving us guidelines on nutrition,

especially recommending organic food, especially

organic meats. He stressed that our bodies are a gift

from God to be cared for with proper nutrition,

plenty of rest, good medical and physical care, and

living life as stress-free as possible. Prayer is an

excellent way to de-stress. Thank you, Dr.

Rodriguez!

We discussed our Lutheran World Relief (LWR)

project of Personal Care Kits. We also sent out some

valentine cards to our shut-ins, which everyone

signed. We all enjoyed fellowship as we ate our sack

lunches and enjoyed dessert and refreshments

provided by Glenace Klinker. Thank you so much,

Glenace!

Please note the Personal Care Kits article in this Life

-Lines, listing all the needed articles for the kits! We

hope everyone at LOLLC can donate articles listed,

or money toward shipping costs for this worthy

project. With special bar codes, we can now track

where our kits go. In 2016, our kits went to Angola

in Africa, the Ukraine, and to Syrian refugees .

Our March meeting will be held on Tuesday, March

7th, at 10:30 a.m. at the Koinonia Cafe at

LOLLC. We will be assembling our LWR Personal

Care Kits, packing, weighing, and labeling each

box, to ready them for transporting to the area

shipping center. Please bring your own sack lunch,

and dessert and refreshments will be provided by our

March hostesses, Nell Pennington and Mary

Vaughn. We hope you can join us! If there are any

questions, please e-mail Joanne Forseth at

Reconciling in Christ:

Questions of Clarity

On March 5, a meeting will be held after the late

service. The meeting will be to answers questions

regarding what being Reconciled in Christ

means. Please join Pastor Skip and council

members as we make this move to be a more

welcoming church. As you'll remember, the seed

was planted over a year ago when congregation

members filled out a survey recognizing our strength as a friendly, welcoming church. Ministry leaders, council

members and Pastor Skip attended a workshop last January to help us build a Roadmap to improve on our

out reach. After prayer and direction by the Holy Spirit, we recognized God is calling us to become designated

as a Reconciled Church in the ELCA, which means we intentionally welcome people who are gay, lesbian, bi-

sexual, transgender, questioning and their allies into our faith community. Twelve engaging discussions were

facilitated by Pastor Skip last summer with a wrap up session Dec. 3 as we look forward to a more inclusive

future. On March 5, a meeting will be held after late service to clarify any questions you may have as to what

this means. Please contact our spiritual leader, Pastor Skip, or any

member of council: John Duarte, Dave Smith, Randi Ladolcetta,

Carol Gaskamp, and Mark Waggoner.

Mid-week Lenten Services

When the Worship Ministry Team

began the process to prepare for this

year’s Lenten services, Psalm 46:10 kept

running through our minds – “Be still

and know that I am God.” We began

researching how to incorporate that

stillness into our mid-week services. Too many of us run through our lives – we have so

many distractions constantly bombarding us that we spend our lives just trying to stay

afloat. So this year, our mid-week services will include repetitive song, prayer, scripture,

and time for quiet meditation and reflection. We will use services from “Holden Prayer

Around the Cross” that is based on Taizѐ services. We hope you will be able to join us as

we intentionally take the time to be still…and know God. If you’d like to stay for

fellowship time after the 11:30 service, we encourage you to bring a sack lunch to enjoy;

there will be no dinner served prior to the 7:00 service.

Holy Week / Week of Passion Services

Palm Sunday is April 9. Regular worship services will include a traditional processional with palms and

The Passion Narrative read from the Gospel of Matthew.

Maundy Thursday will be celebrated on April 13 at a traditional service at 11:30 and a Seder Meal at

6:30. Holy Communion will be celebrated at both services.

Good Friday services will be held on April 14 at 11:30 and 7:00. Both services will be a Tenebrae service (a

service of darkness) and will include Holy Communion.

Easter Sunday is on April 16. A sunrise service will be held at 6:30 AM. Other services will be at 8:15 and

10:45.

Seder Meal and Service

We will celebrate Maundy Thursday with a Seder Meal at 6:30 PM on April 13. Please

plan to join us to experience this traditional Jewish Passover ceremony. The Seder is

followed by a full dinner; we will conclude the evening by celebrating Holy Communion.

We ask you to reserve a space – we don’t want anyone to go home hungry! A donation is

requested to cover costs (suggested $5 per person/$20 per family). Scholarships are

available. To RSVP, please indicate on your Connection Card on Sunday morning or

contact the church office.

We are seeking volunteers, as the evening events take a lot of coordination. Please talk

with Felicia Wachsmann, Diane Smith, or Deb Grunska if you can help with any of the

following:

Table host (setting up/decorating a table for the Seder and the dinner)

Event set-up on Thursday afternoon, April 13

Food preparation for the dinner

Event tear down/clean-up (kitchen and sanctuary) immediately following event.

Country Gospel Service

Save the Date! The band from Shiner, TX will be coming to LOLLC on March 26 to perform the

entire service in the style of Country Gospel. This same band has also done the Polka service the

last couple years. They also do a Country Gospel service that sounds wonderful so we asked them

to join us for that style of service. They will be here during the late service on March 26. We plan

to have a fellowship time after that service. We hope you’ll be able to join us.

Easter Flowers Please help us beautify our sanctuary on

Easter morning by purchasing an Easter plant

(lilies, hyacinths, tulips). Cards will be placed

in the church bulletin and in the Welcome

Center in March and April. If you would like

to purchase a plant, please fill out the card

and place it in the usher’s baskets on the way

out of the sanctuary on Sunday mornings or

contact the church office. The cost per plant is

$7.00 each.

The deadline to order is Palm Sunday, April 9. Make sure you take your plant home after the late service on April

16! If you have any questions, please contact the church office, Jennifer Rosas, or David Ladolcetta.

Dear Family & Friends in Christ,

The concept of waiting does not suit any of us on any level since our culture expects things immediately (aka instant

gratification). Each of us are hardwired to be constant in our thinking and our actions which means that seldom do any of us

stop to rest outside of our bedtime or if-God forbid-an illness knocks us down for the count.

Since moving to Texas back in 2012, I have become more in tuned to the varied differences between cultures and even

individuals when it comes to time management. There are two constants that I have witnessed from living, traveling and

collaborating with people across the USA and abroad: 1) Time is honored and treasured; 2) There is no such thing as “the

perfect time” for any person, reason or thing!

No matter when or by what method I choose to convey information to anyone, it is never the perfect time…I waited too long

or I sent it too early or I used the “wrong” apparatus in which to spread the news. Right this minute you are reading the

Lifelines Newsletter so this is how you are receiving your information but as I pointed out, not everyone reads this just as

maybe you never read the bulletin or the email news blast that comes out every Thursday afternoon.

Regardless of which source you glom information, there is an expectation (innate or otherwise) that we share our knowledge

with others. During this Lenten season, please make sure to share the Good News of the grace & love of Jesus Christ with

EVERYONE! Share a smile, a handshake, a hug and if possible, please share your time.

There is no perfect way or perfect time to share our faith, but pay

attention to how both you and the person you connect with feel after you

at least tried it. I look forward to sharing our stories and together we can

celebrate the Holy Spirit at work in and through us on our amazing faith

journey!

Grace & peace,

Michael Odegaard

Minister of Youth, Lord of Life Lutheran Church
