SHEPHERD’S SCROLL
A PUBLICATION FOR SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH
APRIL 2017
A message from our Interim Pastor….
Almost There
We are on the final lap of our Lenten journey as we move toward Holy Week begin-ning on Passion Sunday/Palm Sunday and concluding with the festival of Easter. We have through this journey heard again the stories of Jesus’ Temptation, The visit with Nicodemus, The encounter with the Woman at the Well, the Man born Blind, and culminating with the Raising of Lazarus. These stories connect us with the journey of Lent and our baptismal journey. In bap-tism we renounce Satan and all that opposes God’s rule in our world and lives. We af-firm our faith through the articles of the creed. We hear again that Jesus brings us life-giving water in baptism. We acknowledge that we were blind, but now we see because in baptism we are invited to let Christ’s light shine through us. Finally, as we prepare for Holy Week we are helped to focus on baptism as our own dying and rising in Christ. We are almost there as we journey with Jesus from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Then hear again the story of Jesus’ passion. We’ll next journey to the Upper Room on Maundy Thursday to hear the new commandment to Love one another and the offering of his body and blood through the bread and wine of Holy Communion. We journey to Calvary to the darkness of the Cross on Good Friday through which God brings about the salvation of the whole world. Finally, we hear the Old Testament promises and re-new our baptismal promises at the Easter Eve Vigil. Then we are finally there; the celebration of Easter for the next eight weeks. We’re almost there in calling the next pastoral leader on April 2. Almost there through this part of the transition, but just like our journey after Easter Day continues, so does the journey of Shepherd of the Hills as a congregation. The transition goes on through the next days and years as Shepherd of the Hills moves into the next chapter of its mission and ministry proclaiming through word and deed the saving grace and love of Jesus who died and rose for the sake of the whole world. Blessed Holy Week and Easter Journey!

Reflections on Lent and Baptism ….
Baptism is a central theme during this time of
Lent. We look to our baptism for forgiveness and
renewal. In order to give baptism a central focus
symbolically and to find a permanent place for our
baptismal font, it is placed in the center of the chan-
cel connecting Word and Sacraments visually as the
center of our worship along with the cross of Christ.
During this Lenten Season we omit the use of
“Alleluias” from the liturgy, since we are in a time of
reflection and renewal awaiting the celebration of
Easter, when we again sing, “Alleluia! In addition,
our liturgy follows the Order of Worship as provided
in the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW). Please look
through Holy Communion Setting One (LBW pages
56-76). As you page through you will notice red di-
rections (Rubrics). These give you some of the op-
tions “may use or include” or “is said or sung.” This
is to provide seasonal possibilities within the weekly
liturgy. Where (A) Assisting Minister is found Shep-
herd of the Hills uses the letter (L) for liturgist. The
Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) ((c) 2006) pro-
vides additional options for Confession and For-
giveness, Prayers of the People, and other possibili-
ties for optional usage, including additional liturgy
styles.

LADIES SPRING TEA Come one, come all to our Ladies Spring Tea on Sunday, April 23, 2017
at the McHenry Country Club from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Our speaker will be Holly Stevens, who will present a program on “Grandma’s Dollies”.

TENEBRAE—A SERVICE OF SHADOWS This Tenebrae Service on Good Friday, April 14th at
7:00 p.m. is an opportunity to reflect on the last moments of Jesus’ life and to understand the true
cost of His pain and what our Savior endured in this, the ultimate sacrifice. Focusing on the 7 last
words of Jesus, the service will be conducted by candle-light. With each step of the journey, a
candle is extinguished until the church is dark; symbolic of Jesus’ day in the tomb. The Tenebrae
service is based on the ancient Christian traditional service, and accompanies a choral and or-
chestral setting. We hope you will make Good Friday a part of your Holy Week.
