March 2019 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

The building is not quite as full, and seems empty in Pastor Wandrey’s absence. His office is bare bones with only a few

visible traces of occupation these last six years. I think I would like the dust and memories to settle before any preparation

begins in there. Eventually will come the cleaning, painting, maybe some rearranging, new equipment, and so forth. We

know that transition time is healthy and valuable for all. It gives us the opportunity to unify, share our gifts with one

another, find strength within, and prepare for our new pastor. June will be here before you know it!

In the meantime, there are 16 services to prepare for, make our hearts ready for Lent, Holy Week and Easter, continue our

mission ministries, to pray and uplift one another, study God’s Word, and hold each other in care and love. We’ll grow,

stretch, and try our wings together over the next few months until our next Shepherd arrives. Rozanne Ryle sent a great

email back in Oct that expresses it all, “How blessed we are to be members of PLC. No matter what time of day, or for the

many different reasons we come through the doors of PLC, there is always the feeling of LOVE…FAMILY…HOME.” Well said

Rozanne, as are these inspirational lines for us to consider during this journey:

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary

Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are

also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles

and they can become your blessings.

In God’s peace, Lynn Affeldt

Lent at Peace Lutheran Our Lenten season begins March 6 on Ash Wednesday. We’ll

gather at 6 pm for a nourishing soup supper, and move into Ash

Wednesday service led by Steve Hagler and Pastor Gail at 7 pm.

The Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion will be offered.

On continuing Wednesdays throughout the Lenten season (March

13, 20, 27, Apr 3, 10), soup suppers will carry on, and we’ll take a moment to remember what this season means

to us by way of a devotional, scripture, and prayer. Using the scriptures for the coming Sunday, will not only

provide us with insight but also inspire good conversation together. Please join us each Wed!

Call Committee Corner By now you are probably tired of looking at the list of Call steps that have been accomplished so we are

moving on with updates! We are currently in an official time of transition between pastors. Many of you are

volunteering by using your gifts of organizing, teaching, preaching, and leading worship among other areas

that need attention – what a congregation!

CC Chairperson, Pastor Gail, made a special presentation at council on Feb 19, solidifying the final details so we

may move forward in the Call process with Pastor Jon Anderson. The council accepted unanimously, the

proposed Letter of Call, and a Congregational Meeting has been called for March 3. You were sent a letter

introducing the pastor, The Letter of Call, and a description of responsibilities and compensation to be voted

on by you at the meeting. We encourage ALL to be present. Let the CC or Council know if you have questions!

NOW: Congregational Meeting/vote to extend a Letter of Call; set start date; moving; Installation!

CC Members: Ken Birge, Chair Pr. Gail Gutterud, Lynn Affeldt, Ruth Clark, Secretary Connie Arthur, Kit Carey,

with Alternate, Molly Shofner

BIG NEWS! Thinking ahead! Our Rummage Sale this year will be held on Friday, April 12, and

Saturday, April 13! The Council accepted and voted on the recommendation that

proceeds from the sale support our Uganda Medical Mission Fund!

The Rummage Sale team will be meeting soon to discuss and organize the sale.

Begin your spring-cleaning early, but please hold on to your donations and bring

them to the church the week of the sale. Our Rummage Sales have made huge

impact on different ministries in the past. Donations ideas for the rummage sale are

small appliances, clothing for adults, children and infants, household items, furniture, books, tools, yard

furniture outdoor/indoor, athletic equipment, or big items like a 4-wheeler or a boat. We will be selling coffee,

water and cookies to the public. Advertising is always a big part of our rummage sale so spread the word! You

will receive more information as plans become finalized.

Marge Freligh, Team Coordinator

NEW: Craft workshops will be held on the fourth Fri of each month

from 9 am to noon at PLC. The crafts we make will be for this year’s

Christmas Bazaar in Dec. Look for a different display at the church

entrance each month with a sample craft and info. We just made

Kitchen Boas in Feb, a unique kitchen towel that you wear so it’s always

at the ready when you need it! All are welcome!

Dear Friends in Christ,

During the past couple of months your PLC Family Promise Team has shared with you some general program

information and a personal experience that hopefully sparked an interest in becoming part of the volunteer

team for future Peace FP hosting weeks. Please see the weeks listed below in the box!

The PLC Family Promise Team is inviting our congregation to a “Thank you Celebration” in the fellowship hall

after our April 7 service. Your past and continued support of this vital ministry serving our local community is

what makes Peace a congregation in mission for Christ. The Family Promise of North Idaho executive team will

be joining us, which will give you the opportunity to have any of your questions answered.

Volunteer training will begin immediately after fellowship on April 7th. A light lunch will be provided for all the

volunteers attending the training.

Blessings from Your Family Promise Team!

Worship March – May Through an incredible congregational response, Pastor Gail has been able to coordinate every Lent, Holy Week,

Sunday service, and those responsible for opening and closing the church while we are without a pastor over

the next few months. Sincere thanks to this Priesthood of Believers!

We’re excited to announce that March 17 will be Youth Sunday where our youth will shine and share their

gifts. Collectively, they will greet, usher, read, serve communion, acolyte, do the youth sermon, and preach the

message. Pastor Gail will be the worship leader that day. Come show your support!

March Nursery Attendants Thank you to all volunteers serving in our nursery during worship time. Instructions are posted on the nursery

door until a policy is in place by council. If you need to switch, please call someone on the list – thank you!

Spring Cut, Crop & Quilt: Mar 1-3 (Look who’s in this picture!)

We Can’t Wait to See You in March! Amazingly popular get-together for

the “crafty” in all of us! Cut, Crop & Quilt is Lutherhaven’s crafting retreat

for you & your friends. Bring your favorite crafting, quilting, or scrapbook

project and create together with new camp friends! Pause for meals,

worship, and devotions; otherwise, the time is yours to craft! Massage

therapist on site (for an extra fee, paid directly to the therapist) will help

you stay relaxed and focused! Food, fellowship, and your favorite project…what could be more fabulous?! Can’t

get enough of your favorite weekend? Add an extra day or two to your retreat and extend your crafting time!

Lutherhaven Women’s Retreat: Mar 15-17 ~ Relax. Refresh. Rejuvenate!

Looking for some “you time?” Need a weekend of pampering? At the Women’s

Retreat, the choice is yours, whether that’s screaming down the zip-line, spending

some time at the spa, getting a massage, taking a walk by the lake, being poured

into by our wonderful speaker, spending time with friends, or simply doing some

professional napping.

Weekend Theme: Reflecting our Maker! God created humanity in God’s own image, in the divine image God

created them… (Genesis 1:27a, CEB) Come, Let Us Serve You! Our goal is for every woman to experience

relaxation, rejuvenation and most importantly, to be reminded that you are God’s beloved daughter! Meet Our

Speaker, Pastor Dawna Svaren from Ocean Park Lutheran Church!
