From Pastor’s Desk… Both Sides of the Tapestry
Dear People of God,
There is an old story that
explains well the days that
follow from Palm Sunday to
Easter. You have to hear and
see both ends of Holy Week. I
have shared this story with
you in sermons…and I no
longer can quote you its
original source.
“The boy sat inside the
Sunday School room,
fascinated by a tapestry that
hung the full length of the
window. From its top edge,
which touched the ceiling, to
its bo om edge, which
almost touched the floor, it
was an u er mess. Random
strands of thread stuck out
all over the place. Knots were
grouped together in chao c
bunches. If there was any
design at all, it couldn’t be
detected. The ar st who
wove this mess together was
clearly unskilled.
One Sunday morning,
however, as the boy walked
into church with his parents,
he saw that tapestry from
outside the window. Now he
was seeing the front side of
the tapestry! What he saw
was absolutely beau ful. The
needlework was precise, the
fabric dense with vibrant
colors and images. The boy
had never seen such an
intricate design. The ar st
who wove this image
together was obviously a
master at his cra .”
Our life is o en like that
tapestry. From our inside
perspec ve, it looks like a
mess, but from God’s outside
perspec ve, it is a beau ful,
intricate design. God knows
about messy situa ons. He
sent his Son to the bloody,
awful mess of the cross. On
Good Friday, this was all
Jesus’ followers could see
(Luke 23:48–49). But even
that was part of God’s plan,
part of his design for the
world: to forgive you of all
your sin and bring you close
to him once again. And three
days later, we began to see
the other side of the tapestry.
What a beau ful, intricate
design Easter is indeed.
THE THREE DAYS…
THE TRIDUUM
Maundy Thursday,
Good Friday,
The Vigil of Easter,
Easter Sunday.
The Passion Story unfolds. I
hope to see you throughout
Holy Week.
Shalom,
Pastor Daugs
Good Friday, April 18, we will hold a 24‐hour, all congregation prayer vigil. Good Friday Noon

reflection under the Cross of Christ. Scripture Readings, Devotionals, handouts, prayer request

REMINDER:
The deadline for the
May 2014 Emphasis
is noon on Friday,
April 18, 2014.
Join in on the last few chapters
of our current Adult Class,
The Gospel of John
“Book of Glory,”
with Jack Kelly, 8:30 a.m.,
in the Fellowship Hall.
We con nue our study of The
Gospel of John ‐ "Book of
Glory," in our Sunday Adult
Class on April 6, with the
Execu on of Jesus (John
19:16b‐42)
Dr. Craig Koester, in
Symbolism in the Fourth
Gospel, writes: "One of the
most basic ques ons in
Chris an theology is: Why did
Jesus die?" Later he provides
the answer: "Put very simply,
John understands that Jesus
died to reveal God's love to
the world."
Lutheran theology is a
"theology of the cross" which
means that in the cross of
Our Final Chapters in the “Book of Glory” Study Jesus Christ God most deeply
expresses infinite love for
humankind and the
crea on. Another Chris an
writer ‐ not Lutheran ‐ writes:
"The theology of the cross is
first of all a statement about
God . . . God thinks
humankind and the whole
crea on so good, so
beau ful, so precious in its
inten on and its poten ality,
that its actualiza on, its
fulfillment, its redemp on is
worth dying for." (Douglas
John Hall, The Cross in Our
Context)
JSBach, in his "Passion
According to St. John," has
the choir sing yet another
chorale, this one as the
crucifixion comes nearer:
"Through your imprisonment,
Son of God/freedom has
come to us; Your dungeon is
the throne of grace/the
refuge of all the devout; For
had you not entered into
servitude, Our servitude
would had had to be
everlas ng."
Join us Sunday, April 6, at
8:30am in the Library. Then
next week, on Palm Sunday,
we will conclude our
conversa ons by considering
John 20‐21 ‐ the chapters of
Resurrec on!
Water U Doing the 4
Sundays a er Easter?
Water is the source and main
sustenance of biological
life. It makes up 70% of our
earth’s body and 70% of our
human bodies. And as you
know, water plays a huge
part in our Chris an story
and tradi on.
Beginning the first Sunday
a er Earth Day, April 29, at
8:30 a.m., downstairs, in the
Fellowship Hall, we will begin
a 4 Sunday explora on of our
rela onship with water. We
will explore our spiritual/
theological rela onship with
water along with water’s
ecological significance and
our stewardship
responsibili es.
We will have excellent
resources and links available
for our reading and exploring
together. Those will include
2 books by recent keynote
speakers at the Palouse Basin
Water Summit (PBWS), and a
variety of theological,
biblical, even musical
resources. There will be lively
discussion, and even field
trips will be available (for
extra credit ).
Jon Kimberling (co‐founder of
the PBWS), along with former
Emmanuel pastor Dean
Stewart, will be leading and
learning with the group.
So…Water U Doing then?
We hope
to see you!

The ELCA Youth Gathering
for high school‐age youth
takes place every three
years and is about faith
forma on, worship, study,
fellowship, service and play.
It is an opportunity for
youth to engage in worship
and fellowship with peers
from across the United
States and the world who
share a common
commitment and faith in
Christ. The next Youth
Gathering will be held July
15‐19, 2015, in Detroit,
Mich.
Many ELCA congrega ons
see their par cipa on in the
ministry of the ELCA Youth
Gathering as one aspect of
their work to fulfill the
promise they made around
the bap smal font to raise
their call to live and serve in
the world — locally and
globally.
On the days between
Wednesday and Sunday,
young people rotate
through a variety of service
learning experiences in the
surrounding community.
They explore and
strengthen their faith by
studying God’s word,
serving their neighbor,
sharing bread and wine in
worship, par cipa ng in
lively faith discussions and
broadening their experience
of God’s world and diverse
communi es through travel.
For many young people,
traveling to the ELCA Youth
Gathering is the first me
they have been out of their
county or state.
When the ques on “Why
work so hard to gather so
many young people in one
place?” pops up, the
response is really quite
simple.
faithful young people who:
Live among God’s
faithful people,
Hear the word of God
and share in the Lord’s
supper,
Proclaim the good news
of God in Christ through
their words and ac ons,
Serve and love our
neighbors, following the
example of Jesus, and
Pursue jus ce and
peace in the world.
What happens during the
ELCA Youth Gathering?
The Youth Gathering is a
five‐day event that begins
on a Wednesday evening
and ends with a service of
communion the following
Sunday morning. The
opening night sets the stage
for the days ahead in which
young people may have an
encounter with Jesus that
energizes their faith and
helps them further discover
RISE UP! ELCA Youth Gathering 2015!
We were meant to be
together, and we are a
church that believes God is
calling us into the world —
together.
So every now and then, we
gather young people and
adults together to share
their unique stories and to
experience the larger story
that makes up the ELCA; we
gather to be inspired,
encouraged, strengthened,
connected and sent out to
do God’s work in the world
— together!

Spaghe From the Master! Chef Mastro! Don’t Miss It!
March was a month of food
tas ng for Terri's classes.
During the days learning
about people from other
countries the children
tasted Japanese crackers,
Chinese mochi balls, and
humus (a common food in
Egypt.) The children also
prac ced ea ng noodles
with chops cks. During
nutri on week we made
some tasty stone soup and
had a fun field trip to
Ferdinands where the
children sampled cheeses
and ate ice cream
cones. Marnie's classes also
and made feather
pain ngs. They did math
and literacy ac vi es with
insect themes. In April the
children will learn about
farm animals and go on a
field trip to the UI sheep
and dairy barns.
Our main fund‐raiser for the
year is the spaghe feed
coming up on April 10th. It
is a fun event and you are
all invited. High school
students will act as waiters
and waitresses, we will have
door prizes and Italian
music. There will be
vegetarian and meat sauces
went to Ferdinands. The
children watched cheese
being made in the creamery
and learned about the
process of cheese and ice
cream making. To go along
with our food themes,
Marnie's drama c play area
was an ice cream shop and
Terri's drama c play area
was a grocery store.
The children learned about
birds and insects as spring
arrived. They went on a
bird hunt using TP tube
binoculars they made,
inves gated nests and
feathers in the classroom,

Mike Mastro,
along with the pasta, salad,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you, Tom Stroschein, for the love and care you give in maintaining our church van!
Praise! Congrats! Yeah! Thanks!
Exactly one year ago my life was turned upside‐down due to a serious accident. My life was affected in so many ways. In fact, I was certain that it would never return as it was prior. Yet, as much of a struggle as it was, members of Emmanuel church were with me at every turn with love, empathy and prayer. Each one made the load I was
carrying just a li le lighter and more tolerable over the 112 days I was
hospitalized. So many of you offered and helped with Maya, my service dog which meant so much to both of us. Life was daun ng once I returned home and your
thoughts, prayers and assistance con nued. Realizing the importance of an accessible van in my daily living, many of you again stepped forward. With help from a fund‐
raiser at our church, the generosity of fellow church members, and Latah County Thrivent
for Lutherans, I was able to purchase a factory modified van which should serve me
many years. This wonderful surprise contributes toward my independence in so many ways, allowing me to live a "normal" life on my own. Your encouragement
con nues to mean so much to me as I now fight to eliminate an addic on to pain
medica ons. I thank the Lord each day for having given me such compassionate friends
within the Lutheran faith. At the me of my accident I was on an errand for the first annual Emmanuel Lutheran Preschool Spaghe Feed, a
program close to my heart. I encourage all to buy a cket or donate to this year's feed and a end. All of the proceeds go directly to scholarships for children of needy families at
our preschool.—Larry Clo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

April Anniversaries!
We have discovered our birthday and anniversary records are incomplete. So we can include you in our Birthdays and Anniversaries, please let the
Church Office know the dates of your special events. Thanks! 9
Income and expenses this
year need to average about
$26,200 per month to meet
budget. Income for the
general fund in February
was about $23,900, and
expenses paid during the
month were about $24,600.
As a result, the general fund
deficit for the year‐
to‐date increased
owed to Wells Fargo
Bank, and received
another $250 in early
March. Amount
owed as of mid‐
March is now about
$16,050. Interest charged
for February at 5.75% was
about $83.
THANKS: We thank all of
you for your par cipa on,
by $700 to about $6,500.
Expenses for the year‐to‐
date are slightly below
budget. With 16.7% of the
year behind us (two
months) we have spent
16.3% of the annual budget.
WHAT WE OWE: In late
February we received an
extra dona on of $500 to
help pay down the balance

Thank you to everyone who
completed and returned
their Servant Strengths
form, pledge card, and
simply giving form. More
than 60 "families" returned
forms. Great! I know that in
the past we've gone
through this exercise of
telling church leadership
what we'd be happy to help
with, only to never be
contacted. I have been
harping to council and
others that this me around
we have to make that
conscious effort to not let
that happen again. You can
help too. If you don't get a
call, be proac ve. Really, it's
okay if you volunteer to do
something.
We saw about a 20% jump
in the number of simply
givers. Great! Two‐thirds of
the folks who pledged are
now also simply givers.
Great! We meet our budget
you.
Remembering, we are
"Riding the Wave" during
Lent. We are taking this
me to ponder our
bap sm. "Ride the Wave" is
our theme for the next few
weeks, thanks to the
Stewardship Task Force. It's
another step in our 18‐
month stewardship journey.
During Lent we'll be
focusing on what it means
to be bap zed. We've
already heard about it from
the pulpit, during Lenten
worship, and even during
J.A.M. (expect more). We'll
be riding that wave un l
late April / early May when
it culminates with a special
focus on the precious water
of the Palouse, led by Jon
Kimberling and Pastor Dean
Stewart. Part of
understanding our bap sm
is realiza on of God's
extravagance to us. Bap sm
on a month‐by‐month basis.
Those that use simply giving
help our treasurer know
what to expect each month,
and having a more
consistent level of giving,
especially during the
summer, helps us meet our
ministry and mission work
during those tradi onally
"leaner" months. And, those
pledge cards... what about
them? Well, they help all of
us take me to reflect on
our many blessings and how
we will respond to God's
extravagance. The
conscious effort of filling it
out makes us mindful,
improves our discipline.
And, if we do this
consistently, it would aid
Church Council and the
Finance Commi ee in
formula ng annual budgets.
If you haven't turned in
your forms, please do so.
We can't be whole without
