Good morning.
As we approach Palm Sunday, Holy Week and the celebration of
Easter, I am thankful for the daily meditations from Father Richard
Rohr at the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. Last week, Richard Rohr shared a meditation entitled “Love,
Not Atonement” in which he challenged the “popular” or “common”
reading of the Bible that Jesus “’died for our sins’ – either to pay a debt
to the devil (common in the first millennium) or to pay a debt to God
the Father … (which) has been called ‘the most unfortunately
successful piece of theology ever written.’”
I agree with Rohr’s conclusion that the events of Holy Week and indeed
all of the ministry of Jesus has an entirely different focus than what the
institutional church has taught, preached and imposed for two thousand
years. In his concluding paragraphs of his meditation, Richard Rohr writes:
“Jesus did not come to change the mind of God about humanity (it did not
need changing)! Jesus came to change the mind of humanity about God.
God in Jesus moved people beyond the counting, weighing, and punishing
model, that the ego prefers, to the utterly new world that Jesus offered,
where God’s abundance has made any economy of merit, sacrifice,
reparation, or atonement both unhelpful and unnecessary.”
The message of the ministry of Jesus that culminates and is fulfilled in
the events of Holy Week is a message of grace. The altar on which
sacrifices are presented is no longer the center of our worship. Instead,
we have a Table around which the entire community is welcomed and
fed. This changes everything! This changes where we start on our faith
journey and it changes the direction we choose to take, thus changing
the destination, too.
I pray that this brief article sparks your interest and re-focuses your
understanding of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and
Easter. May we all be liberated by the knowledge that we do not have
to live in the fear that we are not good enough for God to like us. May
we all be liberated to embrace God’s love freely and without
reservation. That is what Jesus lived for. That is what Jesus died to
proclaim Rohr’s mediation ends with these words: “We all need to
News from Trustees
know that God does not love us because we are
good; God loves us because God is good. Nothing
humans can do will ever decrease or increase God’s
eternal eagerness to love.”
All of this is revealed in Isaiah 41 & 43 where the
prophet envisions what God is saying to us when
life is it’s most difficult. Here are some selected
verses: “You are my servant … my first choice … you
are my servant, serving on my side. I’ve picked you.
I haven’t dropped you. Don’t panic. I’m with you.
There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give
you strength. I’ll help you, I’ll hold you steady, and
keep a firm grip on you. Don’t be afraid, I’ve
redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with
you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go
down. When you’re between a rock and a hard
place, it won’t be a dead end – Because I am God,
your personal God, the Holy of Israel, your Savior. I
paid a huge price for you … that’s how much you
mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off
the whole world to get you back, trade the
creation just for you. So don’t be afraid: I’m with
you.” (from The Message translation)

A Stewardship Reflection….
We live in a world of obsession with material
possessions. Far too many of us find ourselves in
debt because we’ve been swept up in the frenzy of
accumulation. In our consumerist society, it is
difficult to distinguish between our needs and our
wants and desires. We often believe that the more
money have, the happier we will be.
There’s an interesting paradox when we finally
recognize that nothing we have really belongs to
us. Even though we have many things, none of
them actually belongs to us. As we come to
understand that everything belongs to God, our
perspective changes…we become more content.
Respectfully,
Jason Loeffler
Vice-Chair Stewardship Board
The church inventory is almost complete. A big shout
out to all who have helped so much on this. These
people are: Jennifer Bakke, Josie Mack, Juanita
Edington, Jeannine Mallach, Rob Harms, Sue
McNaughton, Jan Smith, Linda Thorson, Doug Budewitz,
Wayne Boyd, Saedra Fremont, Fran Milburn, Lee
Buescher, Melissa Mattke, Vivian Howard, Amy
Gillingham, Joyce Uglow, Tom and Denyce Derleth,
Laurel Welbourne-Bentz, Sue Harms, Chuck and Barb
Weiss and Rob Rowedder.
It’s really amazing to look at the inventory sheets and
realize how many items we actually have in our
building. I know so many of these things, large and
small, have been donated over the years by our
members. After typing all these things in the computer,
I also suspect we have more than a few pack rats in our
group! A special thank you to the “Executive Producer”
of our video inventory- Jesse Fremont.
As you can see, we have done both a computerized
inventory and a video one. Once it is all completed, I
will be contacting our insurance company to be sure our
full replacement coverage reflects the value of our
items.
A few other thank you’s are
needed too- as usual we
thank our cleaning crew;
we thank Rob Harms and
the Weiss’s for painting
Pastor Stephen’s office;
Reed Larson and Tom
Derleth for repairing the
mailbox after the snowplow ( the city’s probably) ran
over it and Reed again for getting all the landscape
stones back in place- another snowplow disaster.
Another big thank you goes to Rob Rowedder. Rod has
spent 3 months making many phone calls and doing a
lot of research. He has negotiated and Trustees have
approved a new agreement with AT&T to bundle our
phone service and internet service (we formerly had a
different internet provider) and this will result in a
savings to the church of approximately $2800 per year.
Nothing will change with our services except the
amount of money we spend on them. This is a major
savings. Good job Rob!
The Board of Trustees thank all the members of this
congregation for everything they do that keeps us
looking as good as we feel about ourselves and that
advances us in our mission.

From the Deacons….
WHERE ARE OUR NAME TAGS? You may have
noticed that the Name Tag Boards have been
moved to the walls opposite to where we hang our
coats. The Deacons felt this was an easier and
better location. We hope that all members will
begin to wear their name tags each Sunday. If you
need a new name tag, please put your name on the
sign-up sheet in the Narthex and Laurel will make a
new one for you.
In our search through some old papers, the
Deacons found what might be the 9th
Beatitude........Blessed are those who wear their
Name Tag, for they shall be known.

FLOWER POWER
Sunday School News
Our hearts have been preparing for Easter in the
month of March. We discussed the Last Supper and
Jesus washing the disciples’ feet. We made crispy,
“dirty” feet in our cooking rotation. Pie crust with
cinnamon sprinkled on with” grape” toes sure are
yummy!  Our group Sunday was spent having
fellowship with each other over treats and making
cards/handprint crosses of our homebound
members. In Science we did several “experiments”
to see if we are left-footed or right-footed. You can
try this one at home….put a string on the floor and
leap over it. Does your right foot or left foot go first?
In April we prepare for our combined Youth
Sunday/Sunday School Recognition. This exciting
service is April 19th. We are working with the youth
group to review some of the things we learned in
Sunday School, sing some of our songs (get ready
to dance along), and share our thoughts on
different Bible stories. If you would like your child
to be involved in this service, please make every
effort to have them here on Sundays in April. We
will be putting it all together and want to include
all of the kiddos. Thank you for your cooperation.
Safe Church:
Stay tuned for new dates as
council reveals the new safe church policy. Any
questions please contact me.
Nursery:
Thank you to all the volunteers that
have been helping in the Nursery. We have some
very exciting news…Amy Gillingham is back as our
Head Nursery Attendant. She will be there every
week, however we will still need one volunteer
each week to help her. The youth group have been
providing their services to help….thank you!! If you
are interested in volunteering, please contact me!

2015 IS THE YEAR OF THE COLEUS
The National Garden
Bureau each year
chooses an annual plant
to honor and this year
they have declared
2015 to be the “Year of
the Coleus”. The Coleus
was chosen because of
its dependability and durability in many garden
situations across the country.
I think most of us remember our Mothers or
Grandmothers growing Coleus in a glass of water in
the kitchen windowsill. It’s just so easy to do that
with the original types of Coleus- just cut off a
piece and stick it in water and it soon has roots and
will happily live there to be a bright spot all
through the dreary winter. The colors are so cheery
and it was a cheap way to have a little houseplant,
especially during the depression years.
Coleus is thought to be native to Southeast Asia
and it was brought to Europe in the mid
nineteenth century by a Dutch botanist named
Karl Blume. It is a member of the mint family
with its square stems and opposite leaves. Any
time you see any plant with square stems it will
be a member of the mint family. They all have
them and no other flower family does. Coleus is
actually perennials in their native area, for us, it’s
grown as an annual.
After it was brought to this country, “coleus fever”
ran rampant until the early to mid 19th century.
Then in the 1980’s breeders began to develop new
colors and uniformity and popularity began to rise
again. As it became popular again, breeders being
breeders also began developing the sun tolerant
ones and more recently trailing varieties.
These plants are strictly grown for their foliage, the
blooms are nothing much and in fact to keep your
plant at its best and healthiest the blooms should
be pinched out as soon as they form. This will allow
your plant to put its energy into bigger and more
colorful leaves and help it branch out with new
growth. The blooms very easily pinch off with just
your thumbnail- no need for any tools to do this.
Coleus colors include shades of green, red, pink,
yellow, orange, maroon, cream and white. The
leaves can be a variety of shapes.
OK- now the difference between the old fashioned
Coleus and the new ones. First off is the price,
you can get the old fashioned ones in a 4 or 6
pack for about $3. The old ones need full all day
shade. You might get by with some dappled
shade in the morning but they won’t tolerate any
afternoon sun at all. You’ll fry them. These are
also the ones that are easy to start as a cutting in
a glass of water. These plants will not get much
beyond 8-10inches tall and they will only branch a
small amount in proportion to their height.
Now the new “sun tolerant” Coleus. These will be
sold in at least a 4 inch pot and that size will cost
you close to $5 each. You’ll even see larger ones
and of course the price will also be larger. Most
important to remember here is that they are sun
tolerant. Tolerant does not mean they love it and
want it all day. It means they will put up with
some sun. Ideally that would be early-mid
morning sun and then dappled shade or better
yet full shade all afternoon. This why you won’t
be seeing these in our church gardens, shade is a
non-existent commodity for us unless we want
them where no one will see them. That said, since
I like to push the limits in gardening, I’m thinking
of trying them under the overhang in front just to
see how they do. If they begin to look too bad,
they may have to be sent to a foster home!
If you want to put them where there is a little more
sun that you think is good, it is better to stick with
one that has darker colored leaves. To me that
seems odd but that’s what the experts say; these
will tolerate sun better than the lighter colors. It’s
especially important with these varieties to keep
the blooms pinched off; they will really branch
out and get big if you do this. Many of them will
reach 24-30 inches in width and height. The plant
labels will tell you the size you can expect at
maturity- providing you care for them properly.
These plants like to be kept underfed, give them a
little half strength fertilizer about every 3-4
weeks. Don’t allow them to completely dry out to
the point of wilting. Be sure you have good
drainage, too much water and they will drown.
They are wonderful specimen plants in containers.
They also often reach their peak size in the fall when
everything else is dwindling. If you start off with one
of the more fall colored ones- orange or maroon
maybe, they will look great with your fall mums.
The newer ones can be propagated from cuttings
but they don’t do as well in water as the old
varieties. You need to take your cutting and use
root hormone and then plant it in soil. This is a
good thing to do in fall if you want to overwinter
one. You will have to give it bright light (not direct
sun) and plenty of humidity over the winter
though. This is often hard to do in most homes so
think about where you will keep your plant. It’s
possible to overwinter the whole plant but you’d
better have a sunroom and a humidifier if you are
going to have any luck with a big one.
So if you haven’t tried this plant, maybe this is the
year to do it, or if you have tried them, try
something new with one. Have fun.
Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how
beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.
