As we leave March and move into April, the Lords people are preparing to enter the holiest week of the Churchs year Holy Week! This week has its origins in the earliest years of the Church and it revolves around the events in our Lords Life that rescued the worlds people from the destructive realities of sin, Satan and death. The Week opens with Palm Sunday on 29 March. When the Lutheran Book of Worship was introduced in the late 70s, the day was designated The Sunday of the Passion. While palm branches are blessed and distributed at the beginning of the Liturgy to recall Jesus entry into Jerusalem, this later designation is more accurate because the entire account of Jesus Passion is read from Marks Gospel. This year we will again have several readers to lead us through the account. The Lords Supper will also be celebrated. Holy Week continues with the observance of Maundy Thursday (02 April). This Liturgy marks the Lords gift of his Supper to the disciples and then to the entire Church. This Supper has its origins in the Passover Meal that was transformed by our Lord to be the Banquet that reaches into eternity. The Liturgy includes Confession and Forgiveness, Scripture Readings and the Supper. Following this Liturgy the altar and chancel is stripped of all its appointments and paraments to reflect Jesus plunge into beatings and insults, trial and death. On Good Friday (03 April) we observe the death of our Lord in a church that is silent and barren. In this Liturgy we read the account from Johns Gospel, showing Jesus going to the crucifixion willingly yet triumphantly. The Liturgy also includes the Bidding Prayer, the Procession of the Cross and the Solemn Reproaches (the Lords lament for his faithless people). On Holy Saturday (04 April) the appointments and paraments are restored to the church as everything is readied for the celebrations of Easter Day. There are two liturgies on Easter Day (05 April), 7 and 11 am. The Sunrise Service at 7 has

its beginnings in the Easter Vigil, a very early Liturgy in the Churchs life. The Vigil began late in the evening on Holy Saturday and extended into the early morning of Easter Day. The Sunrise Service reflects the early morning portion of the Vigil. Since the Lutheran Book of Worship came into the churches, there are Lutheran parishes that schedule the Vigil. Many of them begin it as the sun sets on Holy Saturday (this makes it easier for parishioners to take part rather than beginning at 11 pm and running past midnight!). The members and friends of St. Peters Church are encouraged to participate in all these liturgies. They expose us fully to the Lords redemptive actions, stirring and sustaining the Life into which we have been baptized. These liturgies will carry us into the Easter and Pentecost seasons. May our Lord continue to stir the worshiping, serving and giving of this parish community. In our Lords grace, fear and mercy,

Pr. Carl A. Voges,

Interim Pastor

"Discipleship Moment" videos from Bishop John Bradosky and other executive staff members will be published regularly to the NALC's website. These short videos can be used before worship on Sunday mornings, as an introduction to Sunday school or Bible study times, or for personal use. Reflections on what the word "discipleship" really means, the vision for the NALC, and what it means to be "mission-driven" are just a few of the many topics you will hear about. Personal stories from local congregations, international missions and personal ministry experiences will also be featured. As the NALC strives to be Christ centered, mission driven, traditionally grounded and congregationally focused, we hope and pray these resources will be excellent and helpful tools. Go to www.thenalc.org/discipleship-moment/ to discover this exciting new resource.

Dear St. Peters Thank you for your prayers, cards and visits during my moms, Violet Porths illness, hospital stays and recent passing. Many thanks to Pastor Rawl, Pastor Paulette and the choir for the beautiful funeral service. Thanks also to the food committeethe meal they prepared really meant a lot to us during this difficult time. With Love and Gratitude, Cheryl Lee

Dear Friends of LICS, On behalf of Lexington Interfaith Community Services (LICS) board of directors and staff, I would like to thank you for your investment in LICS through your recent donation of $645.00. With generous contributions from you and many others we were able to serve 20,000 people in Lexington County in 2014.11,795 received food either once or monthly throughout the year, 5,800 received free clothing, 443 received financial assistance, and over 2,400 referrals and miscellaneous services were given to prepare for a sustainable lifestyle. 2015 brings continued emphasis in programming for our clients including cooking and budgeting classes and the expansion of our food pantry. Our goal is to help facilitate the self-sufficiency of the entire family so that they no longer are dependent on assistance from others. You have glorified God by helping your neighbor in crisis. May you be blessed beyond measure for your support of this Christian service ministry. Sincerely Robin W. Bowers, Executive Director

Dear Members of St. Peter's, What a delight it was to spend some time with the folks at St. Peters in January. Matthew and I thank you for inviting us to share the amazing story of St. Lukes during WOW. Thank you also for your generous contribution of $3,850.00. Thanks to you, St. Lukes was able to respond to the needs of refugee children forced to flee from South Sudan when civil war broke out in December 2013. We were able to build seven classrooms and open St. Lukes CORE Primary School for grades 1-7 in a refugee camp at Adjumani, Uganda. Commenting on the work in Adjumani, Dr. Gemechis Buba, Global Mission Director for NALC, said What Matthew has accomplished in the camp is nothing less than a miracle. His mission is truly a tremendous blessing to the refugees and their children in the refugee camp. Enrollment at school has gone from 700 to 1,700. The UN has now built permanent classrooms and is providing money for additional teachers. With the school enrollment up and running under the leadership of a Head Teacher with support from the Parents Association, Matthew was freed up to return to South Sudan, where he is now working to reopen St. Lukes Theological College. We are relocating to Nimule, because of security and strategic considerations. The Anglican Church has given us land, and the Development Association is launching a capital campaign to build classrooms on the property. Please continue to pray for Matthew, the College, the Primary School, and the people of South Sudan. We will be sending information on the Capital Campaign very soon. Please consider how you might be able to help us reopen the College and continue to prepare Christian leaders for church and community.

In Christs Service, Franklin E. Rothfuss, Director

*Also thanks to the members of Lydia Circle for the generous contribution of $4,035.19.

We, as a congregation of the North American Lutheran Church confess: The canonical

Scriptures (Old & New Testaments) as the inspired Word of God & authoritative source

& norm of its proclamation, faith, & life.

The world is unimpressed with the church because the church has not commanded the

worlds attention and respect. When we do not support the work of God according to

the pattern that is set down in the Bible it should not surprise us that the world does not

respect us. Why should they, when we dont respect God or his way? We show how

much we care by how much we give. This writing comes from the book Tithing, A Call

To Serious, Biblical Giving by R. T. Kendall.

Stewardship Thoughts

The following is the first of three articles that come from Halleys Bible Handbook written by Dr. Henry H. Halley. The last copyright was in 1965, and it still holds true for Christians to-day.

THE HABIT OF GOING TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY AS AN ACT OF WORSHIP TO GOD

All Christian people ought to go to Church every Sunday, unless hindered by sickness, or necessary work, or necessity of some kind. It ought to be a matter of conscience, and an act of worship. The Churches are the most important institutions in any community. The Sunday Services are the churchs principal way of doing its work; it is the event of the community life. Nothing ever happens in any community as important to the life of the community as the regular Sunday Worship Services. Every community ought to love its churches, and, at this appointed time, turn out en masse, to honor HIM in whose name the church exists. What it would mean? Assuming the pulpit to be faithful, and the services what they ought to be, if the churches were filled every Sunday the community would take notice, Evangelistic work of the church would be done, financial problems would be solved, missionary problems would be solved. The whole church program would be advanced. It is the one thing that would make the churches strong; the one thing on which depends the solution of the problems facing Christianity. If all Christian Church people would stir themselves up to be faithful in this one fundamental Christian duty it would set forward the influence of the Church, and the Christ for whom the church stands, more than all the rest of the things the Churches are doing put together. What the Church is for. To Hold Christ before the people. The Church was not invented by men. Men have used it and misused it, but the Church was founded by Christ. Christ is the Heart of the Church, and its Lord. The Church exits to Bear Witness to Christ. Christ himself not the Church, is the transforming power in mens lives. The mission of the Church is to exalt Christ, so that He Himself may do his own blessed work on the hearts of men. The Churchs Method. Meeting together in the name of Christ. The word Church means a Called out Assembly, a Congregation, those who Come Together. In order to do his work on Mens hearts Christ must be often in their minds. So, church meetings need to be frequent. How Frequent? Weekly: First Day of the Week: The Lords Day: Sunday. The Lord himself so or-dained. It seems, from Acts 20:6, 7, that even Paul had to wait, in Troas, for the first day of the week to get the disciples together. God instituted the Church, and God appointed the First Day of the week as Church Day. All Christendom has so recognized it, and has made this day a day of ces-sation from the ordinary activities of life. Submitted by Tommy Stone on behalf of the Stewardship and Finance Committee.

COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS Jenny Stone, Council Secretary

The Congregational Council met in the office building conference room on March 8, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. Russell Rawl,

Vice President of the Council presided over the meeting. Pastor McHugh and Pastor Voges were in attendance.

The council minutes, treasurers report and staff reports was received and reviewed. Council members reported on com-

mittee activities. Kevin Gobbi and Sandra Brasington were absent.

Pastor McHugh received an email from St. Johns Lutheran Church in Lexington to see if their 4 confirmation students

could be added to our confirmation classes because they are without a Pastor right now. This was approved by common

consent of the council.

Pastor McHugh had received a listing of the memorial funds and was given the approval from the council meeting in

February to contact the families to see if some of the funds could be used for the council approved current projects; re-

placing the HVAC, refurbishing of SS classrooms, and Missionary Matthew Riak. After making contact with the fami-

lies, some had other specific projects designated, some are undecided or some Pastor McHugh was unable to reach. The

remaining families approved for the amount of $6,628.33 to be used for the HVAC, $6,428.33 for the SS classrooms,

and $3,486.33 for Missionary Riak. Greg Webb made a motion to accept the Memorial Fund designations as allocated

per Pastor McHughs contacts, Buck Vaughan seconded the motion to approve and the council vote to approve was

unanimous in favor. Council thanked Pastor McHugh for making these contacts and securing these allocations.

On Monday March 2nd, Pastor McHugh sent an email to all council members in reference to some major issues with

Amber Scarboroughs computer. Mike Hoyle, computer technician was in the office to assist Amber and her 2008 hard

drive was failing and she was unable to process the offerings for the week and other things. Mike had a hard drive that

he was in the process of building for another church and he offered to transfer everything from Ambers current hard

drive to the new hard drive. He would be able to get this done within a day or two and the total cost for the new hard

drive, data transfer, installation, and warranty including taxes would cost $920. The urgent email was sent to inform the

council of this immediate need, the issues, the resolution and a motion from her and Russell Rawl for the council to re-

port back with an email vote to approve. All emails received were in favor and the hard drive was replaced by Wednes-

day afternoon.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHTS

Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Je-

sus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas

Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, Why was this ointment not sold for

three hundred denarii and given to the poor? He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but

because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into

it. Jesus said, Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial. John 12:3-7 (ESV)

Jesus had forgiven Marys sins, and she knew the immeasurable value of this gift. One who had so little, one who was worth so little in the eyes of the world, gave the most precious, expensive, lavish gift she possibly could give to her Lord. She gave not from a surplus of wealth or what she had left over at the end of the month. She gave to the Lord Jesus the best she could give, because his love and mercy meant everything to her.

Call Committee Update The Call Committee met last Sunday, March 8, with Dr. David Wendell, to discuss the NALC Call process and document. Our next step is to complete a Congregational profile and submit it to the Asst. to the Bishop for Ecumenism and Ministry for the NALC. This lists our congregations 5 key ministry needs, such as Preaching the Word and/or Home/ Hospital visitation. These needs will be determined through congregational input, together with a close look at the Vision and Planning document completed last year. This document, developed by the standing committees of our church and approved by the Congregational Council looks at goals and plans for the future ministries and needs of our congregation. Other profile information about our church might include our specific ministries, a description of our community, and an overview of our church fi-nances, including our former pastors salary package. Once received, our profile will be listed with other profiles of vacant congregations of the NALC. The NALC updates these profiles every 4-6 weeks. At that time, any NALC pastor may request a copy of our profile, and if interested, ask to have their name sent to St. Peters. With the size of our church and our varied min-istries, Dr. Wendell said we could certainly expect 3-5 names, more likely up to 10 names, and possibly even more. Be mindful that once our profile is posted, it may be 3-4 weeks more before a list of names is received. This process is one that teaches us the quality of patience. This process works on Gods time, the Spirit guides the process, and it is up to us to wait on the Spirit to lead us to the next pastor for our congre-gation. Calling a pastor is not like hiring an employee. It is a process of developing a relationship with a per-son called by God to be our next pastor. At this time, a pastor may not even know that he will be called to our church; it is a time of preparation as the Spirit works to bring us together to spread the Gospel mes-sage. Upon receiving names, teams from the Call Committee are set up to conduct a 10-15 minute phone call with each pastor to introduce ourselves and our church and to receive information about basic ministries, tal-ents, abilities, and the background of each pastor contacted. When these calls are completed, the whole committee makes a second call to each pastor to speak more in depth about their ministry and our church and its needs. From those calls the process of narrowing the names to one person begins. As you can see, St. Peters is in the initial stages of an exciting time in the life of our congregation. It is a time when we must wait on the guidance of the Spirit. It is a time for prayer-for our church, for our congrega-tional council, for our call committee, and ultimately, for the next pastor and their family who will come to St. Peters. It is a time of patience while we wait on the Spirit to guide us through this process. To be a strong witness to our Lord, we must have members, linked by prayer, study of the Scriptures, and grounded in the faith that the Spirit is leading us in this process.

As you can see, no names have been considered for our new pastor. Only names from the NALC will be given to us, some weeks after our profile has been posted. Secondly, the need for confidentiality is fore-most. Imagine the damage that could be done to a church whose pastor is considering a call, his name is mentioned, and he has not yet informed his congregation of his desires. Where will our next pastor come from? Dr. Wendell said not to be surprised if we get names from Texas or even from Washington State! At this time, the process is in the hands of the Spirit. Be patient, listen for the Spirit and His guidance, and know that the Lord is good. Thanks be to God!
