Being and Making Disciples!
Easter Grace
As we prepare to celebrate the Good News of Easter - our Lord’s victory over sin, death, and the Devil - I was
inspired to share a very powerful verse of Scripture along with some reflections of one of my favorite writers, Max
Lucado (from his book, Grip of Grace, p. 136-137).
The verse comes from 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul is writing those words out of the midst of his own struggles in the flesh, pointing us to the power of
God’s grace. I think also of Jesus’ journey as He made His way to the cross, willingly suffering for our sins, and
the sins of the world, so that we might experience the fullness of His grace - forgiveness, life, and salvation. God
told Paul, “No! I won’t remove the thorn in your flesh.” Jesus was tempted to take another route, but knew that
God’s will must be done, for there was no other way to save humanity than the cross and His death.
We often question why we have to struggle with temptation, face opposition, or deal with illness, and even face
death. God’s answer, whatever it may be, is always couched in His amazing grace - My grace is sufficient - nothing else is needed.
Max shares these thoughts, first about Paul, and then about us.
“Had God removed temptation, Paul may never have embraced God’s grace. Only
the hungry value a feast, and Paul was starving. The self-given title on his office door
read, ‘Paul, Chief of Sinners.’ 'o pen ever articulated grace like Paul’s. That may be
because no person ever appreciated grace like Paul.
You wonder why God doesn’t remove temptation from your life? If He did, you might
lean on your strength instead of His grace. A few stumbles might be what you need to
convince you: His grace is sufficient for your sin.
You wonder why God doesn’t remove the enemies in your life? Perhaps because He
wants you to love like He loves. Anyone can love a friend, but only a few can love an
enemy. So what if you aren’t everyone’s hero? His grace is sufficient for your selfimage.
You wonder why God doesn’t heal you? He has healed you. If you are in Christ, you have a perfected soul and
a perfected body. His plan is to give you the soul now and the body when you get home. He may choose to heal
parts of your body before heaven. But if He doesn’t, don’t you still have reason for gratitude? If he never gave
you more than eternal life, could you ask for more than that? His grace is sufficient for gratitude.”
God’s grace is sufficient because, in His weakest moment, when Christ’s body was broken, and His blood was
poured out for us on the cross; Jesus achieved the greatest victory of all - the Resurrection to New Life! His grace
continues to mold and shape and transform us so that we become a new creation in Him. May we celebrate with
exceeding joy, the Good News of His sufficient Grace!
A Blessed Easter!

The Passion of Christ Drive Through depicts the last days of Jesus’ life as He suffered and died
on the cross for us. The event will be held on Good Friday, April 3 from 5-6:45 pm. The route
starts in front of the office, and loops around the Fellowship Hall. This has become a tremendous witness to the community in remembering Christ’s passion and death, pointing us to the
grand event of Easter as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord.
In order to make the event a successful outreach, we need everyone’s help. We will need people in the various
scenes, help setting up, tearing down, repairing and washing costumes. If you would like to help, or have questions, please contact Barbara or Kenneth Sagebiel at 992-9610. If you are unable to help, please make plans to
drive through on Good Friday, and invite others to do so as well.

Office Manager News
NEW WORSHIP DISCIPLES GROUP
After faithfully serving as the Church Office
Manager for the past six years, Stacy Loth has
offered her notice of departure. This is due to
a recent change in residence (West of Harper)
and the upcoming building of a new home.
We thank Stacy for her outstanding accomplishments, team work, service and dedication
to the congregation and Christ. Her presence
and leadership have greatly impacted the
Church and she will be missed! Again, many
thanks to Stacy and praise be to God!
CONTINUES IN APRIL!
A new way of doing Ushers, Greeters, and Support Ministers is happening in 2015. Due to the
increasingly difficult task for those who work to
recruit volunteers to serve in various worship
roles, a new approach has been devised.
“Disciple Groups” have been
created by dividing the congregation into twelve groups, with
each group having coverage for
one month during the year.
Each Disciple Group has a
leader who will contact her/his team in advance to
discover which services that month they might be
able to provide service.
Orientation for each
group is given during the month prior to serving.

Manager Position
If you have questions about the new system

WORSHIP I APRIL
Saturday, 6:00pm - Informal Service; Sunday, 8:00am - Traditional Service; and Sunday, 10:30am - Varied Format.
The Easter Sermon Series for April and May is titled, “The Fear of the Resurrection!”
Eight different stories involving Bible persons from after Jesus’ death will be explored, unearthing their real fears
which are also many of our real fears! How does one overcome fear? By faith! May our fears be calmed by faith
in the resurrection of our ever living Savior!
Maundy Thursday, Apr. 2: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied”
is the beatitude of the day. We all come hungry and only God can provide the feeding we need to fill the soul. Holy
Communion is served at both the 11am and 6:30pm service as the Altar is stripped at the evening worship.
Good Friday, Apr. 3: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of
Heaven” is the Good Friday beatitude. Christ took on the persecution of the cross so that we might inherit the Kingdom of God, but it was only through this bitter suffering, bleeding and dying that our salvation was made possible.
Service times are 11am and 7pm.
Sat. & Sun., Apr. 4 & 5: “Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!” This is the chant of the day as the
sunrise service opens up the day at 7am in the Western parking lot of the Fellowship Hall. Festive
services then follow at 8am and 10:30am! A butterfly release, children’s Easter re-enactment, banners,
special music, the gospel story, Holy Communion-- all point to death being defeated! Don’t miss the
story of stories-- He Is Risen!
Sat. & Sun., Apr. 11 & 12: “Fear of Faith” is the first subject addressed in the new sermon series! Thomas is the
fear-laden, doubt-struggler and faith is the weapon to battle it. We all have our doubts - some greater than others,
but no doubt - we must give them over to God in faith! Communion is served to remind us of God’s assurance!
Sat. & Sun., Apr. 18 & 19: “Fear of Getting Involved” is the focus for this week as the post-Easter sermon series
takes us to Pilate. What keeps us from getting involved and making a difference for God?
Sat. & Sun., Apr. 25 & 26: “Fear of Changing the Status Quo” is the theme of the weekend as the Jewish leaders
and Roman guards are the Easter Bible story people that are reflected on. Change can be a fear producing idea that
many people will prefer to avoid even when faced with painful situations such as abuse and alcoholism. Christ was
raised from the dead to change our places of bondage and us!
The Answer is Easter
After the April 2013 suicide of his 27-year-old son, Matthew, pastor and author Rick Warren was often asked
how he was able to keep going. His frequent reply? “The answer is Easter.”
In the Easter sermons Warren preached the following year, he emphasized that Jesus’ resurrection is the answer
to discouragement, defeat and devastating trials.
“The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus happened over three days,” Warren explained. “Friday was the day
of suffering and pain and agony. Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery. But Easter, that Sunday,
was the day of hope and joy and victory.”
“You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime. And when you
do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did, three fundamental questions. Number one, what
do I do in my days of pain? Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion?
Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory? The answer is Easter.”

Take Care of Your Health
April is Alcohol Awareness Month. Drinking too much alcohol increases people’s risk of health-related
injuries, violence, drowning, liver disease, and some types of cancer. We can all do our part to prevent alcohol misuse or abuse. We can use this month to raise awareness about alcohol abuse and
take action to prevent it, both at home and in the community.
Here are just a few ideas:
1.) Encourage friends or family members to make small changes, like keeping track of their drinking and setting drinking limits; 2.) Share tips with parents to help them talk with their kids about the risks of alcohol use; 3.) Ask doctors
and nurses to talk to their patients about the benefits of drinking less or quitting; and 4.) Limit your drinking to no more
than 1 drink a day for women or 2 drinks a day for men.
If you are drinking too much, you can improve your health by cutting back or quitting. Here are some strategies to
help you cut back or stop drinking:
•
•
•
•
•
Keep track of how much you drink.
Choose a day each week when you will not drink.
Don’t drink when you are upset.
Avoid places where people drink a lot.
Make a list of reasons not to drink.

If you are concerned about someone else’s drinking, offer to help. There are many Alcoholic Anonymous groups that
meet weekly in Fredericksburg, including one at Holy Ghost Lutheran Church on Thursday evenings at 8pm.
The Health Care Team wishes you a Healthy April!

CREATIO CARE
“You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves.”
Psalm 89:9 NLT
Getting started:
1. “Let it Go” at our next Freecycle Community Outreach on April 11.
See details elsewhere in newsletter and future bulletins.
2. Love your cycling neighbor. a) When encountering cyclists, reduce speed, don’t tailgate, give
bicyclists space. b) Cut them some slack. Riders come in different skill levels and can be unpredictable.
c) Be considerate. Do not blast horn when in close proximity to cyclists. Watch before opening vehicle
doors. d) Unfortunately, cyclists are sometimes oblivious of their motorist neighbors. Instead of getting
annoyed, remain calm and pray for them.
3. Avoid disposables whenever possible. Instead of paper towels, use sponges or rags.
Since anything is possible with God, pray for our Freecycle: a) that just the right amount of items
needed will be donated and b) that the needy in our community will participate.

Please keep us informed
There are many times when your phone call to the church office is the
only way we may discover that someone is in the hospital, ill, or in
need of a pastoral visit. Please let us know if you have special needs
outside the regular office hours.
