Pastor Glen's focus for his message for

this upcoming weekend:

In the hierarchy of human needs it seems that being in control is the highest. Maybe that's why we battle so hard, hurt each other so much, just to claim a little authority in our world. But Jesus says, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” What if that were actually true? And why does Jesus get to be in charge? Certainly not because he is most powerful - he never exercised his power, even as he hung on the cross. It is because he has love. Grace is the defining characteristic of the Kingdom of God and Jesus came to embody it. That's why he had to die. That's why we kill him again and again by hating and excluding and harming others. But then God raises Jesus from the dead, and in the light of Easter all of our fears not all of our needs are destroyed forever.

This is the theme of the Sunday night message / Bible study for the 7:00pm Worship that will start this Sunday, June 4th in the

Prayer Garden.

Often we mistakenly believe that when it comes to the Bible, there are no choices other than fundamentalism or outright rejecting it as unhelpful. It doesn’t need to be like that. In his book Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg suggests it is very possible to reconcile the Bible with both a scientific and critical way of thinking and our deepest spiritual needs, opening us up to experience of the sacred texts in new and amazing ways. Misuse and abuse of the Bible has been costly to the church and to our own, personal spiritual lives. Come and join us as we seek a simpler, more faithful,

and better way.

Please see the Summer

Faith Chests

The men’s group of First Lutheran has in the past built faith chests to give to individuals baptized at First Lutheran church to use in their faith journey. When the Covid pandemic started we were no longer able to build those chests. Several people have asked if we are going to resume building faith chests, to that end we are looking for members who would be interested in helping make faith chests again.

We have all of the equipment and components necessary and need helping hands to build, sand, stain, and attach hardware and finish the chests. We normally work 1 night a week for a couple hours, if enough interest is shown we could have 2 groups on different nights.

No previous experience building faith chests necessary, we have a few men who have experience building chests but we need more to continue with this wonderful project.

This group is very informal and is not limited to men, we would welcome ladies interested in working with wood, or helping assemble, sand, stain, etc.

If interested contact Dawn in the church office 402-426-4073 or Rick Ruhge @ rickruhge@gmail.com or 402-802-5898

Communion Update:

Thank you for helping with this accommodation for Pastor Glen: because it is difficult for Pastor to bring communion to members in the pews, if you find it physically difficult to come forward during communion, we invite you to pick up the communion elements as you come into the Sanctuary and receive them during the communion liturgy when the Pastor indicates.
